It's not a matter of limited perspective, it's a matter of the laws of physics. The rocket equation is a harsh mistress. Without FTL or reactionless drives the physics of going to a distant solar system is absurdly unfavorable. It takes many decades/centuries, is a one way trip, and the ability to build a self contained self powered ecosystem that can survive the entire trip without support. Once you have that why bother going to a distant solar system? You have a perfect orbital habitat.
