It's the same concept why we don't intervene in primates. We don't know what would happen. We could tech them to light fire for cooking and heating and they could turn around and start hurling flaming pitch balls into African villages. I believe they disabled nuclear Arma in the 60s to prevent a war and they may even do it again but I doubt they will ever try to give us technology or even knowledge and I'm certain we will have to reach out to them first or they will stay quiet and on the side of our conciousness.

Most likely they just don't care, same thing as we don't care about the ant nest in our backyard. We don't worry about their wellness, nor we think about contacting them or trying to help them with better technology.

In order for them to wanting to contact is, they might need to be just slightly more advanced than us. But then the chances they can get here are next to none.
