Unless they are a stagnant people. Which might be an interesting thing itself.
I agree, I think they are a bit stagnant in some ways.
Look at us, we have some super advanced computers and are progressing with robotics.
Yet we still rely on petrol for our cars when we could've shifted to solar powered cars long ago, heck, we had battery powered cars much earlier than we thought. Admittedly it's not as practical yet as a petrol powered car, but given enough technological motivation, we could make it practical. But humans like it easy so we stick with the easiest method.
Our own technology can be a bit schizophrenic. But we do advance pretty fast.
Yet the Predators are taking it easy with regards to ships and even their fashion. They must've been like this since 6,000 BCE (if you take what AvP says as true, where they came and taught humans to build, and the first civilization started around six thousand years ago. Plus one of the NECA toys backstories mentions something in Egypt 4,000 years ago that started the whole clan blood feud between the classics and the Berserker Predator's clan)
And even AvP comics, games and novels, humanity changes and advances, they get motion trackers, smart guns, ftl travel, synthetics while Predators still hunt them with their regular hunting gear.
Who knows though? Maybe they do advanced in other things but still purposely keep limiting themselves for the challenge? It may be traditional. Maybe they have reached a technological peak for themselves and see no further reason to progress.
