I mean I’ll bet a billion dollars that those groups are alienated by Trump just by being Trump and that therefore had no political capital is going to be wasted here.

“On the issue of the U.S. embargo against Cuba, 55% of Cuban Americans in South Florida support its continuation, although they also show relatively high support for some engagement policies such as the selling of food (61% support) and medicine (69% support) to the island. Support for the continuation of the embargo drops to 43% among Cuban Americans not born on the island.” source
So if trump re-enables full bans he risks pissing off from 45% to 69% of Cuban Americans likely voters. See? This is politics. Biden gets to make one policy change with zero consequences to himself a few days before he leaves office that will torpedo trump support in a key group if trump puts it back to the way it was just a couple of weeks prior.
Wanting food and Medicine sent to the citizens of a state you consider controlled by a totalitarian government isn’t the same thing as wanting said totalitarian government removed from the list of Terror sponsors. So you’re making it quite a logical leap there.
I’d also point out that Trump’s approval numbers and voting numbers from the Cuban community is extremely high. Something like 68% last I checked. This is after he reversed Cuban decisions during his last Administration.
