They probably look at it as not being worth their time from a cost/benefit aspect.
What is the deal with Antivirus software companies and Bitcoin acceptance?
I asked Avast:
The only company that accepts Bitcoin seems to be Malewarebytes. I thought security companies would be more excited about something brilliant as Bitcoin.
Sure there is a lot of Bitcoin maleware, but there is also credit card stealing, spam sending and banking maleware. Does that make them hate email, credit cards and banking? No.
Is it just my impression or do they really have a negative opinion of Bitcoin.

We will not consider Bitcoin as one of payment options.
I am sorry we are unable to meet your needs in this matter.
