just cuz
they are attached to the walking legs. this serves as an advantage because when the legs move so do the gills, allowing water to circulate and a greater amount of o2 and co2 to be exchanged.
They are all appendages and they enable the body to move in some way
The chelipeds aren't really related to the movement of the crayfish itself, unconciously these appendages might move the crayfish, but really the chelipeds are a form of defense and used for food handling, much like the one big claw of the "Fiddler" Crab. INother words, the chelipeds are the two big dangrous looking claws of the crayfish.
Praws have gills (special gas exchange surfaces) at the base of each walking leg. In order to pass a constant supply of oxygenated water over the gas exchange surface the gills are ventilated by movement of the walking and swimming legs. A prawn has 5 pairs of walking legs (located on thorax) and 5 pairs of swimming legs (located on the abdomen)
There are several structural differences between bony fish and frogs. Frogs have legs, fish have legs. Fish have gills, frogs have lungs.

A crayfish has eight walking legs and eight swimmerets.
walking legs on a crayfish are used for mobility and movement, while the claws remain free to forage for food. This allows the crayfish to eat on the move and travel fair distances in a short time.
the purpose of walking legs on a crayfish are to help it move around. It mostly uses its tail since it is in water and can easily move with its abdomen muscles
Crayfish exchange gases through their gills, like many other fish. These gills filter water and pull out the dissolved oxygen, then put in the carbon dioxide.
They breathe through gills attached to their legs.
Walking keeps the gills moving and oxygenated water moving under the carapace.
A crawdad's gills are located on the underside of its body, attached to its legs. They are feathery in appearance, giving a large surface area for allowing its blood to release carbon dioxide and absorb oxygen from water. The top side of a crawdad, above the gills and legs, is called the carapace, which is the shell on its back.
they are all part of the cephlathorax
