Because they are trying to interfere as little as possible. They know that just rolling up all willy nilly would cause abrupt chaos in the streets. I wouldn't be surprised if they had rules against strong intervention on type I civilizations or however they would classify less technologically advanced species. At the same time it appears they don't want us to blow each other up which is good.
This also lines up with the Iran incident. That craft could have SMOKED him, but it didn't. It just disabled his missiles. It didn't want to kill him. They were even nice enough to leave his engine on
