Things have independently evolved into crabs like five times or something

Yes, but I think OP’s point is those 5-6 crab-events all came from a narrow taxonomic group. All plant families have some trees. Only one sub-group of animals contains crabs.

It is as if all trees only came from members of the lily family.
