If I were an alien from another planet or dimension, why would I care about humans being collectively aware of my presence? One more reason time travelers hypothesis makes the most sense

I personally can't think of any satisfying explanation to the sneaky nature of the phenomenon, and the aliens from other planets/dimensions hypothesises are slowly moving down the list of what the phenomenon might actually be.

The main problems I have with the extraterrestrial hypothesis:

1- Why would they care?

2- Why are they here?

3- Why have they stuck around for decades or even centuries?

4- Why are they similar in appearance to us?

5- Last but not least, if our technology is inconsequential to their activity on this planet, and they are completely indifferent, why can't these beings do their thing and just ignore us, or pretend we don't exist, like we do with animals we study?

Judging by the nature of the phenomenon, one could argue there must be a good reason for the phenomenon to behave the way it does. In other words, there's something at stake for the phenomenon, and any action it makes must be carefully calculated. They avoid detection because they have to, revealing themselves to humanity might simply mean their plan wouldn't work.

The general consensus among experiencers is their similar physical appearance to us. They are very often described as either human looking, or having a humanoid features. Sure the greys might have odd proportions, but they look closer to humans than to any other species on earth do to us, even chimpanzees, which are our closest relatives.

Divergent evolution could explain why they look similar to us, but it's only based on our observation of earth species because there's no evidence it could have happened on another planet, and even if it did, birds and insects developed the ability to fly, yet they look very different, which isn't the case when comparing greys to us. They almost look like they've evolved from modern day humans, following the same evolutionary trend we did, i.e, less archaic cranial features, smaller jaws, bigger heads, larger eyes, thinner bodies, etc...

Time travelers hypothesis, specifically the one that includes different humans from different future timelines makes the most sense.
