The main reason is its strategic location. It would be a fine launching pad for an attack on the United States and indeed such was a worry when Spain owned it and later when Russia became an ally of independent Cuba. It is also a source of cigars and sugar and was a popular resort spot for Americans in pre-Castro days.
