Because they don't want to risk going to prison due to the government misunderstanding bitcoin?
You wouldn’t go lobby the state to pass a law that gives you the right to eat.
They would if governments forbid eating. Yes, they'd be eating while it's forbidden anyway, secretly, but they don't want to fear prison while eating.

Thanks for this image, I'll use it a lot. It's something I always say, there's no such thing as "The Government. The goverment doesn't think, it's not an entity, it's simply a word. What does exist is a bunch of people that come together and declare themselves as rulers, but at the end of the day it's still just a bunch of people

That is just a dangerous superstition. Governments does not exist in real life, only in people beliefs.
Ask yourself this: who give a government the authority to do such atrocities over you, the simple individual? YOU! So stop giving them that consent. Authority comes from YOU, from your consent.

If a “govt” was dumb enough to ban eating not only would people keep eating but also at the same time they should realize that that “power” is so corrupt and ignorant to the good of individuals that any lobbying would be pointless. Same logic can apply to math and bitcoin.
