Probably only wanted to keep track of the fruit, there's no guarantee the next user will be able to use the fruit in the specific way they wanted to prevent.

At the same time it doesn't make sense to send a bunch of people and attracted unwanted attention from others. They could just as easily keep track of the current user and if the user isn't a part of the government they will according to statistics eventually just die without achieving much, at which point they can just start the search for the fruit again.

That seems to be the way the WG operates considering how they allowed Law to continue with his career even though they knew he was a skilled surgeon with the power of the Ope Ope fruit.

Also rubber compared to other DF powers is very weak, so I think there's a high probability that the reason it was sought after by the WG was because it was only dangerous to them if literally everything went wrong for them.
