I don't think it is a deliberate quarantine

More like they are so ahead and so different from us that they simply
don't bother talking to the monkeys with car keys of Sol 3, because
we have nothing of interest that they would want to hear.

For an idea of what a really advanced species would be like, go here:

I believe Marcia wondered about how an advanced civilization could
keep quiet. Well, between the fact that our SETI programs have been
pretty sporadic and mainly looking at a small number of nearby stars,
and the fact that advanced ETI may be encased in Dyson Shells
emitting only in the infrared, it would not take much to keep quiet,
at least from beings like us.
