This is because the government (any government for that matter) is always afraid of something they don't have any control of. As far as monetary system is concern, the government has had been exercising control on this matter and if ever there is a revolutionary system that somehow diminishes this control then there is a big possibility of opposition from then. This may not be true with all governments but even with countries already opening their markets with Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, there are regulations in place in exchange for that. In other words, anonymity is not anymore the same as it was when Bitcoin started because the government has already intervened and there are already many compromises. Anyway, we live in a world full of compromises as it can be the bargaining stick we can use.
