Or what we see is all there is, or perhaps this is the "locust" phase
of something a little different that will emerge from the current alien
ecology.  If there is an intelligence, maybe it's an emergent property
of some sort of macrostructure we haven't seen yet, formed from the
organisms we have seen, and it might not even recognize humans as
independent individuals, let alone individually intelligent.  Of course,
Orson Scott Card already did this, sort of, with the Buggers in the
interminable Ender's Game series.
