but surely so would the elites and Prophets would be just as stupid
It is not that. It is the fact that when they became smart enough to properly comprehend what they were, there were plenty of artifacts lying around on their homeworlds. However when Humanity got to the level where they could find Forerunner technology useful, they found none.
It is nonsensical really. The Forerunners make it difficult for the civilization that they wanted to give responsibility of the Mantle to by hiding everything from them, yet made it blatantly easy for pugnacious species like the Elites and the Prophets to rise quickly and abuse the galaxy by cluttering their homeworlds with powerful technology, such as a Keyship -no less- on the San-Shyuum world.
I wonder what could possibly go wrong...
So your answer is probably that the Forerunners were a very irresponsible race that were extremely short sighted.
