Who knows what kind of planet these creatures might live on? They might have lots more metal than us, or less of something else, or there might have been an intelligence "arms race" between two species (like how big cats and their prey had a speed "arms race"), or... well, anything. Life on Earth is very well suited to living on Earth, so I don't think we can extrapolate too far – even small differences could have taken evolution in entirely different directions.

I am a little confused why we would seek stars emitting tons of IR as evidence of Dyson Spheres.
