Because he forced the pilgrims to work for food, shelter, and without him they would not have survived.
Captain John Smith assisted at Jamestown. He never had direct contact with the Pilgrims at Plymouth. He was originally a candidate for military adviser to the Separatists journeying to America on the Mayflower, but they were put off by his strong personality and worldly ways; they were afraid he would dominate decision making in the new colony and bring non-religious practices with him. They instead hired Captain Myles Standish to protect, defend, and guide the Pilgrims. Standish did an outstanding, courageous job and was head military adviser for over 20 years. Note: Later John Smith groused that the Pilgrims should have used his maps or hired him, because then they would have moved to Boston harbor right away where there was deep water for the landing of many large vessels and three nearby rivers to facilitate trade and commerce.
