Question about the Treasury Dept\’s efforts to freeze adjustable mortgage rates?

I do not understand why the Treasury Department has to step in to negotiate the freezing of mortgages rates.

Why cant the banks/mortgage companies use their own discretion by doing it themselves?

You would think it would make good business sense to freeze the rate and having a mortgagee continuing paying the mortgage than having the loan forclosed altogether…

An explanation to why these companies are not already doing this would be helpful. Thanks.
