The Dutch and Portugese wouldnt have colonised it anyway. Their empires were mainly trading empires, focused on getting their hands on certain key cities, ports and landmarks which could increase their revenue through trade.

Colonialisation never really was their kind of thing. Their "colonies" were mainly trade ports and bases.
