The main advantage is in the fact that all of them are still there in one place and able to work together. Smart people are just naturally driven to do stuff. They can't just sit around doing nothing for centuries. It's that drive that makes them special more than anything else. And when you put so many of them together and able to cooperate they compound massively.
And frankly the whole idea of a species that has a low reproductive drive and no desire to grow, expand and explode is just inconsistent with basic evolutionary principals. Such a species would be rapidly outcompeted by others and die off well before they got to becoming notable.
