Why are stablecoins being burned instead of buying Bitcoin?

So I've been wondering, Tether and Circle just burned about 2.1 billion dollars worth of stablecoins in a week. That's a lot of cash, could've bought like 35,300 bitcoins. Why not do that instead?

So burning is all about staying in the regulators’ good graces? Seems wasteful, but if it keeps them pegged, I guess that’s something.
