Yes, governments in every country are now aware of the changes that bitcoin has brought to the world. Because bitcoin is fragmented, they can't kill bitcoin completely, so it's a good idea for them to choose to join the cryptocurrency to gain revenue.
I partly agree with you in this matter. What I believe is if Govt. wants they can nearly kill bitcoin/crypto, at least in terms of it's value. I believe Govt. itself don't want to kill it, but wants to take profit out of it.
