Why doesn't the government just dictate price of BTO and its resale value after x number of years if it's really concerned with sellers' profit?

Could anyone share insights, or lead me to something, on why the government don't just dictate price of BTO and it's resale value after x number of years if it's really concerned with sellers' profit?

Correct me if i am wrong:

The G-man got dictate price of BTO. It is always cheaper than market. Because they always emphasis housing affordability to sg ppl. Also impose rules ,eg ABSD , avoid ppl owning multiple properties causing housing price rise too fast. Else people will vote them out.

Is difficult to fix the resale price as there is many factors. When you sell high, u also need to buy high. Unless u choose a isolated or smaller unit. U need to live somewhere.

Inaddition, The higher price you sell the more they can tax you. So no incentive to control resale price.

My husband and I are considering to move some time around next year. However we are concerned about the number of years left for the property as we are worried about the resale value in future.?

Supposed that there are 2 flats of same size and both 5 years, is there any value in buying a resale DBSS as compared to a resale BTO next to it?

Hi, I am considering between a BTO flat vs resale HDB with 300k price differential. BTO vs Resale?

Mid-30s couple, living in 5-rm HDB fully paid - resale at $600k. Bayshore BTO for $500k profit in 10 yrs or take loan for 2-rm private property (rental and resale)? Which is more profitable?

If we look at a HDB e.g. priced at $500,000. And since the lease is 99 years. If we look at this perspective of renting 99 years from the government, this will equate around $5,050/ year which is around $420/month. Hmmm?
