Won’t happen without major political changes in the US and/or the outright end of the current government in Cuba.
Most Americans don’t really care about foreign policy, and even fewer care about Cuba policy in particular. But almost all the ones that do care about US policy towards Cuba happen to live in south Florida and have been loyal republican voters since they or their families came here after the revolution. There’s basically no political upside for anyone to loosening restrictions, and nothing but upside for Republicans pandering to the Cuban expatriate community.
The incentives are completely set up to keep the status quo in place.
