Possibly, because the time it takes for a sufficiently advanced civilization to develop a technology like this is just a couple of centuries. Like literally, two hundred years, if we are to believe what we see on the news about UAP's. And there have been advanced civilizations in the past.

Now, in relation to zero-point energy, they call it that, again, only to a property of an underlying fluid, that I prefer to call "ether" (they call it "quantum field").

They spend millions and billions per year trying to find more new quantum "particles", pretending to understand matter better that way.
The reality is that there are no particles at all.
It's always the same fluid vibrating at different frequencies in different directions, creating different kinds of waves.
One fluid vibrating and forming a finite number of individual waves that in turn form what we call "the visible universe".

Now, take that thought with you, keep it in mind, think about it for a while, and then try to use it to better understand your own intuitive knowledge.
Because that tension between "particles" that you perceive, I posit, is in reality the total lack thereof.
