Recieving technology that is thousands of years beyond a group's natural development creates problems. The most significant problem is that alongside natural technological progression comes important progression in moral/social/spiritual understanding. Skipping these developments could easily result in extreme consequences not just for the group, but for the whole universe.
As a group learns to control the environment around them in a natural manner, they will learn in the short-term and the long-term what kind of effects their new developments are having in all facets of life - the land, the law, and the people.
From what's learned and observed in this development, the group should grow a sense of responsibility and understanding in regards to the growing implications of what their advancements are bringing, both good and bad. They will learn to find a balance. If they don't, they could fall, destroying themselves, or others.
By granting advanced technologies to lower developed groups, the lower group risks meddling in things that are far beyond their scope of understanding. If the lower group is already dabbling in basic technology as is the case with human beings, they could reverse engineer advanced technologies and create horrific weapons, learning new methods of war and control. This, from a group that hasn't yet learned how to properly tame their desires for domination and destruction could be catastrophic.
If the technologies granted were to also further the lower group's understanding of physics and other various sciences, playing with FTL travel may come thousands of years before natural discovery. A galaxy filled with advanced beings would then have to contend with a self-serving group who has their technologies, but none of their intelligence and wisdom.
This would seem to be the most logical reason as to why we are still in the dark. They're not ready to babysit.
