Blue Beetle's always been a bit of a Spider-Man. This goes back to Ted, who was the least powerful in all teams he worked in, and served as comic relief with witty banter. He was often used as the audience viewpoint character, in Crisis on Infinite Earths and in Legends. And Ted's agility is comparable to Spidey's. The bug motif is pure coincidence. Jaime's slightly less Spider-Man.

Why DC's pushing Jaime (and if), I don't know. But his inclusion in the show is not based on any pressure from DC.
