Thing is, if they die to monsters, the government (or any organization handle this case) won't have to bear direct responsibility. If thousands people get their brains fried because that organization tried to carelessly remove / destroy NervGear, you know what will happen.
Moreover, by the time VR technology goes that far, I think we can safely assume a connection lost or power cut won't happen under normal condition. Even by now I can't remember when was the last time important hospitals in my country had power-outage.
All in all, they can't (and probably don't want to) rush things and attempt anything that wasn't proven to be fail-safe.
