Almost all raiders wouldn't want to settle there. Its miles away from anywhere, doesn't have mithril (raiding groups cant afford bluesteel unless they are wikier-level pros, and even then it's limited), and requires you to make your own food and water. Trees are of small supply and the only good thing is the plentiful amount of bomb making reasources (which are never used unless raiding specific targets), and possibly crossbow bolts if your into that kind of thing (which most people aren't).

It's much better for hiders. Hacker on the loose? Mass murdering group of raiders? Just go in there. The number of hiding spots in there is amazing, you can hide in a crack in the rocks with ease. It also provides plenty of stuff to do while you wait for them to disappear, when you come back out you'll be king of the castle in no time.
