Giving the benefit of the doubt the accounts are accurate, the few times humans have been the aggressors and attempt to actively engage them with weapons, they did defend themselves with no life lost on our end.
I don't assign benevolent or malevolent motives to those actions per se, but what appears very clear, from at least 70+ years of interactions with military assets, is if they decided to legit go open displays of force, it would be a lot more obvious and would be like a fleet of F22's showing during Revolutionary War times at best.
Of course some posit that there's a handful of them that we are dealing with - or a myriad species and races as you put it - that like us humans, range from good intentions toward us, and not so good intentions and the good guys keeping the others in check on our behalf.
