Ok, here is the exact reason. No defence expert has told you yet, it's only Arminius.

Up to China. A bold India means a stronger USA investment in India militarily and strategically (military technology etc). India showed that it could stand up to China during Doklam.

The morale and amount of strong actions USA can go for against China.

Be a strategic partner. Always remember how USA used pakistanis , Pakistan was member of CENTO group controlled by USA. Post economic reforms, it started inclining towards India because of huge market. (1998 nuclear tests delayed the bonhomie).

Indian policymakers understand this thing, and don't want to be a pawn in USA's China policy .

India, unlike USA is surrounded by nuclear powered enemies on two sides. Also China is a bigger power compared to India, apart from trade relations we have.

Closer to USA on military ties, already many strategic agreements have been signed in recent times.
Trump recently revised rules for NATO and non Nato strategic allies for India, that's another reason behind this China act .

Any good gesture from India, India's long term policy will be in alignment with USA s China containment policy.

Sole superpower in Asia. Not to forget they resolved border disputes very recently and had bad ties when India USSR friendship was at peak. Even Russia fears China as sole superpower in Asia ( that's why Russia enabled India's membership to Shanghai cooperation agreement).
I hope I have given Wider clearer picture of this geopolitical game.
