Whenever a modern uncontacted tribe is found, it seems curiously consistent that they are barely even agricultural at best-much less even up to pace with most of the world’s society. What makes it so we never seem to discover unheard of industrial societies? They had as much time as anyone else to have come to the same conclusions. What causes one group to be splitting atoms while the other is still using bows and arrows?

The world has been largely explored at least by remote sensing. An industrial society would not be able to hide from that all of this time to just now be discovered.
A small tribe in the middle of nowhere and isolated doesn’t have the population and ability to exploit their resources to have an industrial revolution. Everyone is busy farming and or hunting/gathering, there’s no division of labor, no real markets large enough to create enough demand for a factory to be needed. Just not enough people. Basically they are still caught in the cycle of just being able to produce enough to support their society and no expansion is possible.
