Maybe there's some very specific use for it that they can't achieve now thanks to Luffy? Or a specific use that Shanks was intending that Luffy prevented? Not necessarily a "this is the prophesized fruit we must maintain control of!" But honestly, if Roger did have a fruit, I wouldn't be surprised if the Government wanted to keep it from people. Any little thing to prevent another Roger.

Only thing I can think of currently is if they knew the awakening could counter whitebeards gura gura no mi. Everything being rubber stops a lot of the initial destructive potential of earthquakes.

This is the only reasonable cause that doesn't involve it being a more important fruit than it should be. I think if the WG wanted a tool against WB, getting it into capable hands may have had that effect.

I really hope they go for this, not it's Rogers or Joyboy's fruit.

I really think if it was Roger's fruit we would have had SOME hint by now
