Also, they eat a cleaner diet than crickets, so parasites aren’t a factor. Crickets will eat each other’s waste material, they’ll eat other crickets, etc, so if even one catches anything it can spread easily. Not the case with silkworms. Also, they don’t bite, you can keep them in a food dish, and there’s no indigestible exoskeleton like crickets and mealworms have.
