They do. Not unlike back in WWII when the US militaries captured Luftwaffe aircraft to poke and prod at the enemy technology (and vice versa).
If the unidentified object possesses technology greater than that possessed by the military, the military would aim to capture and reverse engineer it to advance their capabilities.
The government wants to find every single thing they can possibly weaponize, from psychotronics to bioweapons to advanced transmedium vessels. Barbaric, yes, but that's their game. Well, what I'm saying is, they definitely don't want to capture UAPs just to go joyriding over their old high school stadiums.
To defense, anything unidentified demonstrating advanced capabilities is a potential threat (doesn't matter if it's Russians, Chinese, or ET), this is why they're encouraging reporting. The more eyes on the sky, the better their chances are of staying ahead of the game.

The most advanced butterfly net ever built.
There's your UAP report. No anti-grav spaceships in Hangars at Area 51, no dead alien bodies on ice at Homestead AFB and no Americans getting abducted while they sleep.

**this has serious implications for the Rendlesham case)
Hmmmmm. Just reading it now.
they only went as far back as 17 years, implying that anything before that has not been taken into consideration. Ergo, the Rendlesham case is still in play.
In addition to the 144 UAP reports covered during the 17 years of UAP reporting included in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) preliminary assessment,

An American airman has won a legal bid to force military health chiefs to pay for the treatment of an illness allegedly caused by a UFO encounter in Suffolk.
Airman First Class John Burroughs was involved in an incident in Rendlesham Forest in December 1980 which has become known as "Britain's Roswell".
He was exposed to huge doses of radiation whilst investigating a mysterious craft and claimed this left him in need of "lifesaving" heart surgery.
After decades of being "stonewalled", he has finally persuaded the US Veteran's Association (VA) to pay for his treatment.
His lawyer hailed the dramatic legal about-turn as a "de facto" admission that UFOs exist and can cause "physical injury".
...Burroughs and a colleague Jim Penniston ventured from their base to inspect the UFO at close range...l
Shortly afterwards, Burroughs fell ill with symptoms resembling radiation exposure. But the real problems started in 2011, when doctors were astonished after the mithral valve of his heart had failed - something which usually happens to men much older than 50-year-old Burroughs.
"I couldn't work and was going downhill fast," he continued.
Neither Burroughs nor his doctor were able to access his medical records, which were classified. Burroughs even claimed the Air Force denied he was employed with them at the time of the UFO incident. He asked for the help of presidential candidate Senator John McCain, who was also unable to get his hands on all the medical records.
Finally, Burroughs' legal team found two documents from the British Ministry of Defence which showed high levels of radiation were detected at the site where he encountered the mystery UFO.
The US Veterans Association and Department of Defence then agreed to pay for his treatment....
