Why not very likely a scneario...

Perhaps prevailing logic of advanced civilization beyond type 1 orders could be that getting beyond type 1 means that most type 1 civilizations will be self eliminated before ever having reached such a stage and far less likely to prove a threat in terms of being invasive or a threat.

Prevailing logic of advanced civilizations beyond type 1...high inter cooperation, not competition and elimination oriented.

Prevailing  logic of competition oriented civilizations, taxing to resource usages, more likely to self destruct through the anthropogenic effects of climate change or anything else taxing a life hosting environment, nuclear, biological, and/or aggregate industrial catastrophes.  There is no reason to believe that higher order civilization would need bother with eliminating if competition/threat were an issue. 

That is a waste of time and resource.
