Well, that and it makes it non-vegitarian. I remember when Starbucks used insect derived dyes and vegetarians were pissed off when they weren’t told their drink technically had bug in it.
That said, we eat bugs (and poop, etc) all the time since there’s a legal amount you can let slip into food when processing. So eh.
One of the most striking quotes I’ll always remember from a documentary is “natural peanut butter has more bugs in it because natural ingredients always will”. When you’re eating processed peanut spread, the ingredients have gone through a lot more filtering and processing steps and allowed insect parts are lower.

I still eat natural peanut butter though
Hydrogenated oil vs having to mix? Mix, definitely, unless physical limitations preclude it.
Gotta love that extra crunch!
And protein. It helps make the peanut butter slightly leaner and have slightly more protein!
