The implicit assumption is that not only does a technologically advanced society exist, but they also have the ability and desire to create space-faring self-replicating robots. So, on top of the other restrictions involved with the Fermi paradox, you're adding: Being on a planet where the gravity isn't too strong for space launches using available materials. A society that wants to spread out into space and has the technological, economic, and political will to do so. And also having self-replicating robots that actually succeed at their mission.
This would be miraculously rare. Maybe something on the order of one in every few thousand galaxies has such a society. There's no guarantee that even we humans would be able to achieve that.

Not even ultra power saving, but just the regular power saving mode is great too. I keep my S22 Ultra on that literally all the time, and it often lasts more than a full day of regular use, longer than my old phone. The baseline performance is so great that you never notice that it's been throttled.
