It isn’t really all that complicated. Enormous distances that take millions of years to cross, even at the speed of light. Unless/until the fantasy of traveling through “wormholes” or some other means of much-faster-than-light travel are realized, we’re not meeting, seeing, or even detecting any other intelligent life, and they’re not ever going to be aware of us, either.

It sounds like you have had your ear to the ground--and listened closely to the ants talking among themselves.
