They are not surprised in the slightest by our existence or that of the keepers for that matter (considering their differing racial traits).
I think that's the general issue with just Dawntrail writing, we got a fast forward "Display case" that was very surface level on these so called "unique tribes" and their culture. Without actually stepping deep into any content about them.
Another pacing issue and them not fleshing out any characters and storylines for growth, but just giving us a "planet of hats" tv trope, where everyone in that tribe just does one thing that they are known for. The Pelu Pelu are the perfect example for this.

Oh and them not really caring about worldbuilding and former lore. I think the new writers just check old lore in some lorefinder in a troubleshoot fashion and don't go deeper into anything else.
