Are they all cave dwellers? They look a bit like house spiders. I haven't seen them for sale in the EU, but they would be cool to keep.

Are they all cave dwellers?

At least most of them. Some are also found outside caves near the entrances, but they live all at least near to one.

But afaik none of those species entered the hobby so far. I guess it's not that easy to catch them and since they all come from Mexico where export is illegal, imports are difficult.
I also think they are not easy to keep. Climatic parameters in caves will be hard to set up in a terrarium.
