That's one of my possible reasons for intelligent species not
colonising the galaxy.

Once they develop an incredibly dense network of being always
connected to each other and their systems, it will become unthinkable
to cut themselves off from the network and go off alone for years
exploring. They would be considered 'insane' by the norms of that
society. (And maybe treated and 'corrected' by their psychologists).
