Sadly if they regulate the exchanges, and most are regulated already they can then have a great deal of control over Bitcoin as they can shut accounts down, prevent spending from certain accounts, Prevent you from cashing out and basically do whatever they want. It seems a lot of people store their Bitcoin and other cryptos on exchanges instead of using a cold storage wallet which puts them at the mercy of the exchanges and who ever regulates them, which seems to be the governments.
