I agree with your statement that Bitcoin remains apolitical only if governments and institutions stay out of it. If governments or institutions remain entrenched in it, Bitcoin will potentially be impacted by any political or economic issues, whether it's a massive sell-off or other events that could potentially impact the price. While Bitcoin cannot be directly intervened, as more governments and institutions build their reserves, we will see an increase in centralized Bitcoin ownership, which is something we don't want.
There is no way the government will not be involved in Bitcoin. It is assumed that there are institutions that control all the activities of the world. These institutions will always want to be in control of or influence Bitcoin. Bitcoin reserve and ETF are some of how these institutions want to be fully part of the Bitcoin industry.
But regardless of how hard the government tries to centralize Bitcoin, it still gives us the privilege to use Bitcoin in a decentralized manner. Only weak hands will be moved to sell off when these big players try to manipulate the market. We would always have the option of being our own banks, thereby having full control over our coins.
