Why are the Precursors/Ancients/Forerunners always have hype advanced technology even a thousand or more years after they've left the galaxy or gone extinct?

Exactly what it says on the tin. In almost every story involving a species of precursors who influenced the main story they're almost always shown as having technology which is centuries ahead of anything the current species have but why? I think it would be more interesting if the Precursors woke up/came back to reclaim their territory only to find that the club welding primitives they once scoffed at are now their equals or even more advanced. Thoughts?

You can tell a story about a detective just having a day of mind numbing paperwork at the office too — Different doesn't equal being interesting.

I also just don't think OP actually knows enough fiction to make this kind of call.
