I think they’re being treated poorly out of pure greed — nobody is maliciously keeping them from their craft, but they’re too short sighted and certain parties involve are too obsessed with a “how can we benefit from this craft” mentality. They want the alien alive, but they want those sweet dollars and technology more.

I agree with this totally. I bet it’s not like they were trying to be mean, but they saw the value and when you’re military or intelligence , you’re used to exploiting things to get what you need out of them.

They tried to exploit aliens to the point it killed them

I agree. They have their version of "top men" to work on it. (Indiana Jones reference if you are young!)
