I always think, we don’t get a bunch of chimps together and try and treat them like equals….hyper advanced organisms with tech thousands of years ahead of us wouldn’t just….chill with us

Exactly. Who's to say we could even perceive them with our laughably limited, primative senses if they're advanced enough? If they're millions of years ahead, there's absolutely no reason for them to contact us. At worst we're being monitored for study purposes, since any civilization sufficiently advanced enough would be able to create what they need instead of mining it, and any civilization that would make the effort to contact us probably wouldn't end well for us.
