That this god really wanted to, or even could, communicate with us at all is highly suspect. It may be that we find ourselves more special than this god does.

Now that you mention it, it is kind of strange that Yahweh used to be so hands-on, even giving a public speech to the entire nation of Judea.

At other points, our Lord spoke directly to people, often without the need of a pyrotechnic display from a burning bush:

Strange all the communication these days seems to be one-way. I'm going to have to pray on that...
