Maybe it's the politics of those times? After all, only a few centuries after the age of enlightenment, we started advancing like crazy beyond anything seen in seven thousand years.

There's also resources and manufacturing capacity to consider, and demand. Many things we are capable of inventing, but haven't put the money in the right place, or we wouldn't be able to sell it to anyone because it would be too expensive, or we can invent it but can't afford to produce it.

Also, let's just give Peter this one. He sucks at everything else in the series so can he at least be smart?

Well, they talk about it. I'm pretty sure they never actually procure a Dracon Cannon.

Humans are the universe's guinea pigs, as aliens use them to test technology.

It's a little silly to ask why people didn't invent lightbulbs 5000 years ago.  After all, could YOU build a lightbulb in 5000 BC if you didn't have any textbooks, modern tools, etc.?  Two things separate modern humanity from our ancestors: the scientific method, and cheap and plentiful energy.  Without those two things, even if you made a car, it was just an unthinkably expensive toy; you wouldn't be able to mass produce it and it wouldn't affect society in any way.

However, I do sometimes play with the idea that some Chee are surreptitiously pointing humans in the right directions every once in a while.

I completely agree with this.

I think that the Chee are the Ellimist's version of the Drode.

Well, we all know Ax instantly dismissed humans learning about Z-space because "they're too inferior, after all" but even when it is revealed that this is not so, and humans really HAVE discovered Z-space, we never learn HOW they did so. Here's my take on it.

Ax messed with Marco's dad's computer in #8. The Alien, so what if, maybe, just maybe, THAT was what helped Marco's dad discover Z-space? I KNOW, the technology was erased later, but they DID have it for a short time, and a LOT of people probably saw it, and Marco's dad is no idiot either. What if that was the reason Z-space was found out? It would make a lot of sense, especially since Ax would have been responsible for a HUGE advancement in human society, one he caused, accidentally yes, but one he still caused.

Opinions?

I bet that Peter and his co-workers managed to make copies of Ax's software before Ax could erase it.
