The null results of SETI do not surprise me for a similar reason. If

only for very specialised (and slow) directional links which are
unlikely to send data towards Earth.

If I was a member of an advanced race, I would be using
entangled particles for FTL communications. However, I
would also be listening for those primitive slow obsolete
EM waves.
