You’re not imaginative enough. If the latter is true, we’re a lot more likely to see messages from outside the Matrix sometime. (“Sorry, guys, I ran out of supercomputer time.”)
For various values of “a lot”, I suppose. If something is simulating something the size of the universe, chances are it’s not even going to notice us (unless we turn everything into paper clips, I suppose). Just because the universe could be a simulation doesn’t mean that we’re the point of the simulation.
