[Arrow]: What gave an intelligence agency the idea that a spoiled billionaire trust fund kid was an important asset for covert ops just because he had been on an island for 2 years?

I mean did he really learn THAT much during his time on the island that he would be a better asset in covert ops than say, an actual military veteran? 

It's not like their exploiting his families wealth. And it's not like the fact that he's presumed dead is really of any tactical  advantage over having some actually trained military person. 

So why did Amanda Waller, or ARGUS in general, think it was worth their time to coerce Oliver into doing operations for them. It seems like there would be plenty of better suited, and more loyal and reliable, people to pick from.

Not so much a spoilt billionaire as a missing person who with a decorated special ops operator managed to thwart a mercenary company and derail an ARGUS operation to kill one of the most dangerous person in the region.
