Which might be consistent with coaching us to technological parity.

Look at what i'm paying attention to, maybe you should be asking why ?
Maybe you should be interested too. An intentional giveaway as a clue.

As Hawking has said

“Meeting an advanced civilisation could be like Native Americans encountering Columbus. That didn’t turn out so well.”

Unless our level of technological advancement was on a parity with theirs.

Hence the tease of our aircraft and the "catch me if you can" game.

Maybe they want us to "Catch" up with them, not literally but technologically.

Ive often made this comparison. If the Australian aboriginal had developed the naval technology to travel to England and meet Cpt Cook there. The end results would have been different.
Perhaps they have learned the same lesson we have seen play out here countless times. Let the less advanced civilization develop their own technological parity and come to you.
The alternative always ends badly as Hawking says for the less advanced one.
