Likely because the first beings that could do that, did do that - no need to wait for the evolution of higher intelligence (so, in particular, this doesn't show that higher intelligence couldn't evolve).
Yeah, that's precisely my point. If there's more obstacles, intelligence has to go further before the technological civilization. We did get higher intelligence but only by other means (e.g. having paper and pencil helps, better nutrition gives higher IQ, and so on).
