Economic prosperity for the populace is dangerous for a dictatorship. Myanmar is still a poor country which exports mainly things dug out of ground. If the situation changes and now the military is financed by businesses and tax-payer money, they'll have to answer to those.

This is bad news for the military leaders and their gang. They'd much better have a small income from these resources and a poor population than being ousted. (and probably face prosecution)
