How did the people of early monotheism deal with the fact that the god of everything only spoke to them?
I guess you could say they thought they were special but how could god not talk to the Japanese or Native Americans or the Western Africans or Swedes? They are his children too.
Seem like a hole imo

Noah was the most faithful.

Before that the entire world was faithless and filled with sin. It's in Genesis, bro.
He spoke to Zarathustra though.

Early on he spoke to everyone but Abraham was such a good boy that God chose to only care about his people. The Japanese, Swedes and Native Americans never produced such good boys.
Everyone else was a stupid dickhead so god didn't talk to them. The chosen people (you!) are extra special, so god does talk to them (through prophets) and does stuff to help you out.
It was a convincing argument if you were an illiterate bronze age goat herder.

Can't question the word of God or else you'll be damned for eternity, and as a bonus, be a pariah.
They were the chosen people, it's that simple. God sent prophets to all people, but messengers to few

That's not true. The original native Australia, before invaders came, worships one God. They did not make any statue for worship, eventhough they're fully capable of making one. And pray the way as Muslim pray, fall on their face.
Just like how Jesus(Matthew 26:39), Jesus's disciples(Matthew 17:6), Moses(Exodus 34:8), Abraham(Genesis 17:17), Aoron and Moses(Number 16:20-22, 20:6) and many more in the Bible.
The Abrahamaic God has many names. Regardless of the names given to Him, what's important is the total submission to one God and don't associate any god with Him.
The Muslim believe that God sent prophet to all mankind, of all times.
