Can't the government do the same with cryptocurrencies though? They can also "arrest the criminal and return the stolen cryptocurrencies". Not very practical 99% of the time though...

yeah unless they spent it, or hid it, etc... just as easy to get that cash back as it would be to get the criminals private key.

Those are contradictory statements. The government can absolutely reverse a criminal taking your money by arresting them and returning the stolen cash.
