My theory is that if any ETI exists, our species is under quarantine until we have either grown up or burned ourselves out. They will have seen violent, self-destructive beings in the past and know it is dangerous to let them spread and destroy peaceful society. If they can travel between the stars, they would have to be able to communicate to keep cohesion, this communication could very well include the warning "Avoid this system, there are killer apes on that planet".
Or avoid the vampires, werewolves, and zombies that are constantly around based on the intercepted documentaries.
Well the vampires are on the nightly news reports about Wall Street, and zombies are shown in attendance at every tRump rally... so yeah the ETs would certainly know they are quite prevalent here. Don't see as many werewolves in the news, but they interview a shit ton of ghouls.
