Well, of course she would not be an end unto herself...

But the children that she produces, ah that is the real prize of the goldmine.

Queens in the expanded universe have been documented to inherit the genetic memory of the host they inhabited as Chestbursters, and that includes the ability to understand their language. Hence the Queen's ability to quickly adapt to her enviroment and adapt to her present enemies/host supplies.

Most dangerously of all, her children also genetically and psychically inherit her memories through the hive mind. Which means if the Queen is obedient to Lerouch, each and every xenomorph from the lieutenant warriors down to the chestbursters and even facehuggers in the hive will be obedient to Lerouch. He can literally go as far as to order the facehuggers to not impregnate Nunnally-chan if he wanted the failsafe precaution just in case.

Imagine an army of suicidally obedient warriors who do not even feel pain, much less fear death, that also stirkes maddening, mortal terror into your foes.

Which brings me to another reason why Lerouch would think owning a xenomorph army is profitable.

Mr Lamperouge is shown to appreciate the value of psychological warfare. Once word (and streamed videos) gets out of the revolting, agonizing and humiliating deaths awaiting those captured to give birth to his acid-blooded warriors through their ribcages, his foe's armies would lay down their arms at the mere mention of his name, or simultaneously bite their tongues at his approach, winning the battle without the fuss of even firing a single shot.

A xenomorph army is as much a terror-and-propaganda weapon as it is a blunt instrument, and combined with the absolute obedience one gains from Geass, he or she who possesses it is veritably invincible.

If that was not the case, why has the Weyland Yutani Company tried for 400 years to possess it?
