Why are horseshe crabs more similar to arachnids than to crustaceans if they have more than four pairs of legs?
Because arachnids and crustaceans share a pair of appendages called chelicerae, which are specialized mouthparts that we find in both arachnids (spiders) and horseshoe crabs. In fact, these mouth parts define the name of the entire subphylum to which these animals both belong, the Chelicerata. There are a few different types of chelicerae, but in arachnids, these would be the mouth parts that most people think of as 'fangs,' some which are of course venomous. In horseshoe crabs, they are the anterior-most (front-most) pair of appendages, look like small claws, and are used for feeding.
