Is it abnormal for jumpers to be skittish?

I’ve had her for almost a year now and she is in her web id say about 70% of the time. When she sees me come near she will retreat back into her web within 5 minutes. She also seems shaken by me opening the door on the enclosure. I have lured her out on to my hand a couple times using a cricket, but she kinda just taps around on my hand then goes back into her enclosure.

I always see people here talking about how their spider is so curious about them, and videos of them handling them, and while I get that they all have their own personality’s, it does make me a little sad that she always seems so scared

Do I really need deep substrate?

I have an Asian forest scorpion, Heterometrus Silenus to be specific. I plan on putting together a new enclosure for him… I always see people say 5+ inches of substrate for them to burrow, but in the 2 years I’ve had him he’s never burrowed. I do have multiple hides for him as well as being quite heavily planted, so maybe he just feels safe enough not to burrow? Do some just not burrow or will he one day decide he wants to
