The Dark Forest - no one wants to alert their presence or attract predators. Though knowing our Earth I think we’re stupid enough to do that. Cue the space lasers.
It could’ve also been knowledge interstellar species gained through experience too: if in their first encounters they were either wiped out, or nearly wiped out, then they’re not going to reach out again.

The dark forest hypothesis is compelling, but I still think the answer is the simpler one: it is the nature of intelligent life to destroy itself
