Yeah its the time factor people often forget when taking about this stuff. Human civilisation has been around for a blink of an eye in universe time, and even less with any kind of alien contacting capacity. Plus fuck knows if we are gonna be around in 1000 years let alone 1 million. The chance of 2 technologically advanced civs lining up in both space and time is pretty small i reckon.
Well what kills them off? A galaxy where everyone's hiding from the school shooter seems less depressing than a galaxy where the last 10,000 species to reach our level of development all did species-level suicide.
I'd like to believe there's some wide world of aliens out there, but it's just more likely we exist at different periods in time and never interact. 🙁
