To be fair, a ton of people tried using this as an argument to get Drizzle banned. But yeah, those were stupid arguments, and the point itself is valid. If Sticky Web makes it good enough to use, it will be an OU mon.Also for comments about Galvantula being "not an OU mon", that's terrible logic. If a Pokemon has the tools to get used, then it's an OU mon. I don't think anyone would ever say "Politoed isn't an OU mon".
However, with that said, I don't really think Galvy has enough going for it. With the relative ease of hazard clearing this gen, in order for a hazard to be guaranteed a lasting effect on a battle, you need to be able to set it up more than once, or save it for later in the battle. While Galvantula could certainly be a nice suicide lead, that simply will not get the job done nowadays. It's too frail to try and set up again when it is cleared, and if the opponent has any rocks or spikes, it won't be able to even reliably get up Sticky Web once, should it be anything but a lead. While I can definitely seeing it be something a few teams appreciate, and the kind of lower tier Pokemon that could star on a tournament team or something, for general ladder use, I just think it won't be worth the baggage it brings.
