However powerfully armed a people consider themselves, if they are sounding out a harmless antelope call into a dark jungle, they are taking a risk. Especially if by reason, the jungle is likely to contain lions. Spoiler alert below about the first Star Trek movie. The movie illustrated a different, but vaguely similar danger of a later fictional probe in the NASA Voyager series. Humanity will have long turned to Dust, compressed into Sedimentary Rock and part of one large Supercontinent by the time any Spacefaring beings even capture let alone decipher the Golden Platt on either of the Voyager Spacecraft. Besides, we're so far off the 'beaten path' no being in their right mind(s) would expend the energy and/or effort to wander into the backwaters of The Orion Arm to even take a peek at our Planetary System or what's left of it.

You are describing our particular present. But in the future, time, speed, and distance will not be the significant barriers they are today. Any other culture out there was born eons before us, or at a similar time, or eons after us. The former are living in that future of which I wrote. Unless they have wasted all their precious time and progressed at a snails pace. Perhaps some did. Surely not all. Time, distance, and space are not barriers that can reasonably be forecast as likely to be forever a problem in this universe. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.
