Well setting aside the legal/sovereignty issue, Antarctica is freezing cold, permanently dark for 6 months and gets covered in thick layers of snow every year. And it is not accessible to sea transportation due to a lack of rivers and railways.
It’s just much worse land.
You could try to settle some of the outlying parts but the cold and dark and remoteness would still make it really bad land.
You can move your iceberg to the middle of The Atlantic Ocean and be close to Europe and America but also sovereign. That’s worth a lot more.
