Hmm.
Psychic tyrannosaurus crusade to purge the humans. Yep, I think it's safe to say that we're just as well off not having to deal with one of those.
More generally, this applies to a lot of nations: espers have powers that are difficult for governments to control except by effectively locking down their own use of espers (as Shepistan does). Some nations solve the problem by putting espers in charge (the Centrality), others by extensive monitoring (the Chamarrans).
In the former case there's no incentive to make everyone an esper because it weakens the state's power by creating competition. In the latter case, making more espers makes the government's problem of control much worse.
Other nations try to muddle through without strong esper policies (this includes, say, Umeria). Many of them get away with it because espers are rare and heavily outnumbered by forces the government can rely on to keep organized esper movements in check even without strict government control over the espers.
Which,
again, goes out the window if someone starts deliberately breeding massive numbers of extra psychics.

But
would you want to live in that society?
Seriously, CN, think for a moment about what your life would be like if everyone could read the horrible things I'm sure go through your mind now and then, and react accordingly.
Very few people would relish the thought of making everyone able to read their mind, regardless of whether they gain the same ability. Very few people would relish that for their children, either. It is far from certain that anyone with the resources to do it would try to breed a species of human-based espers, even if it's possible.
Unless, of course, they're batshit crazy.
So the reply is only that he got it "from an asset".
