Brain "uploads" require an ideology from the thread of doom, so it's quite feasible to have a world where that frame of thinking is uncommon to non-existent.

Digital intelligences that are stuck in their present form could be an outgrowth of the similar ideology that would stop people from "uploading", so again such a setting is feasible. Or just that some aspect of A.I. self-creation is difficult to identify and copy precisely. No need to invoke metaphysics.
