The inner parts of the Milky Way (or any galaxy for that matter) is more, um, illuminated with hard radiation and cosmic rays than way out here in the 'Burbs of the Western Spiral Arm.

Fair chance biological life didn't get much farther than something similar to Earth's Giant Tube Worms for all that radiation.
