If something is truly valuable to protect it should be done by the government (who can simply nope out of LVT for the plot) rather than some random jerk (or who's kids) that might change their mind.

That aside, the point here is that if something is being held for the common good, it should be held in common. "The Government" isn't a perfect check or steward, but there's actual accountably there, something which does not exist at all in the case of private ownership.
