It's not hubris. It's rationality. If what you say is correct, we would probably see more evidence of alien life. You can't just see a star flicker and jump to aliens.
Why is that explanation much better than we're inside Matrix. And dark matter is rounding error or even worse our overlords manually tweaking parameters.
Both are untestable theories, which means they are essentially useless.

Everyone dovetails into the same overarching implied narrative that everything we see has become that way based only on a few simple laws and everything was empty before that. So all our discoveries tend to cement that narrative because we aren't looking for anything else.
