Nah. It's a case of space and time. There could easily be intelligent life elsewhere but how would we know? We've only probably been detectable from outer space for what? 200 years of our 100 000? Even if detectable intelligent life had existed elsewhere for 100 000 years, it would need to be well within 200 years travelling speed distance away from us to have detected us then travelled to us, assuming they could or wanted to, and within 100 000 years communication speed distance away for us to have detected them. It's not just a coincidence of intelligent life, it's a coincidence of intelligent detectable life existing at the same time in a similar geographical region of space to make that detection possible. And space time is huge. Probably infinite, or as big as to be as near to infinite as makes no odds. And any finite number, say the number of worlds where intelligent detectable life evolves, however big, divided by an infinite number, the size and age of space time, = 0.
