John Cabot did not settle in Newfoundland primarily due to the lack of resources and support for a permanent colony. His 1497 voyage was more focused on exploration and claiming land for England rather than establishing a settlement. Additionally, the harsh climate and limited agricultural potential made it challenging for settlers to thrive. Instead, Cabot's discoveries led to increased fishing activity in the region, which became the main economic focus.
