I just read about it on Quora Bir Tawil has no resources, as opposed to the nearby Halayeb triangle; and due to the current situation (two contradicting treaties decide who gets which of the two areas), whichever country calls for Bir Tawil implicitly recognizes the other country as the owner of the Halayeb triangle. So neither countries will claim it.
