I mean, yeah. If someone had the technology to not only fly half a billion light years to get to our little mud ball (in person or with advanced machines) they’d have a trivial time hiding and blending in. Most likely for the same reason, since there’s literally nothing we have that they could want other than to study us as a curiosity. The only resource we have that they couldn’t find easier and more abundantly, or reproduce from samples, is our culture. That’s it, that’s the only thing we have that might be considered with the effort. Not water, air, energy, precious metals, phosphorous, brains, mates, food, slaves, vassals, soldiers, or anything else that would be worth the trip.
I mean, if you can reasonably bridge the gulf between stars, scientific advancement is basically all that’s left, unless it’s just your culture to be slaving, warmongering dickheads. Your home solar system probably has all the raw materials and energy you could ever ask for.

I think honestly that is the most likely answer to why aliens have not visited, they just are not interested.
