I think that most of the studies you mention are funded by universities etc
I think there was telescope many years ago dedicated to Seti with government funding but was later withdrawn.
I think the private institutions are doing a good enough job as it is.
Space funding gets very stretched at times, and Seti would be quite far down the list on that score.
