Frankly, both of those suggestions sound about equally ridiculous to me. But then again, it may just be scope insensitivity because of how minute both likelihoods are to begin with.
It seems to me that if the structure was built by aliens to provide energy, that would be an example of Nancy’s “something aliens constructed to make their lives better”, wouldn’t it?
For any life to live better is to make as much of spring as possible and SETI-atack is good way to conquer outer space and have many “childs”.
The other way is to build as many simulations as possible. In that case Dyson spheres will dominate.
That’s less likely than that it’s something aliens constructed to make their lives better.

If it is alien structure, what purpose it have most probably? In your opinion?
Two things come to mind, providing energy or highly directional interstellar communication.

That is almost true, but don’t give us information about their final goals. But also: building directional energy weapon?
