>they all speak the same dialect.
They don't though, the little flying bug couriers speak like coolies because they have a different language but are speaking to Hornet who is speaking whatever language she uses.

NTA but
You meet bugs at the top of Pharloom that haven't been called by GMS or the Pale King and they have language and some sort of culture(they built the lost village)
The ants have their own culture and religion that existed prior to GMS and lasted after it.
The coral knights had their own language and culture that resisted GMS.
The mantises in Hollow knight had their own language and culture and their backstory is literally they were strong enough to resist being subsumed by Pale King's culture and told him to fuck off.
The Weavers weren't awakened by Pale king, they were given sentience by GMS
