Why or why not?

Yes - but to do so under US law, they have to get a license from OFAC to allow them to do so.
http://www.treasury.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/programs/cuba/cuba.pdf
lists six categories where licenses may be issued.
(Under Cuban law, there is no restriction on US visitors).

It is illegal for a US citizen or permanent resident to travel to Cuba without a license from the Office of Foreign Assets and Control. The problem lies in there can be no financial gain by Cuba from a US citizen.
The embargo has been in place since 1963.

It's a yes and no. Cuba is forbidden to U.S. tourists. If an American tries to go to Cuba from Canada, Mexico or other countries, the person will be fined $7,500.
Only some Americans can obtain a license from the OFAC if they are government officials, journalists, full-time students, university professors, humanitarian and religious groups pursuing their work; athletes and artists participating in competitions or performances; or Cuban-Americans visiting their family.
