I think they just don't really see the benefit of getting involved (see below).
"Benefit" or "Control" or whatever else you want to call it, they are two sides of the same coin. Bottom line is that governments have no say in anything when it comes to bitcoin. For example they can't print more of it or censor transactions. Or in case of US government when they sanction countries left and right they can easily block every fiat transaction but they can never prevent people from using bitcoin. So that doesn't sit right with them that such a simple tool is completely out of their control that has made them powerless.
