The desire to survive and expand is not a human trait, it is a natural result of evolution. Any successful evolved species will have this desire because those that don't, don't get anywhere.
Interstellar civilizations are unlikely to be biological, but evolution still applies. All it takes is for one civilization in the whole galaxy to decide to build Von Neumann probes, and they'll have taken control of all unoccupied systems in the galaxy in short order.

It seems like many species are evolved to very specific environments like caves or thermal vents that they will stay in for generations if not for thr duration of their existence as species.
