There's plenty of reasons why a neighbor might want you to cut your tree if it's infringing on their property. Perhaps leaves, needles, or bark are clogging their cutters (it is taller than their house/garage. Perhaps they don't want to pick up the leaves/needles/pine cones on their yard. Perhaps it's blocking a view, or sunshine. As many people have mentioned maybe he is worried about damage should there be a storm or the tree gets sick.
Refusing to take care of your own tree sounds kinda irresponsible IMO. Sure it may be a nice tree and some people might like it, but some people just might not. As its on his yard at that point I think the responsible thing to do would be to accommodate his wishes or find a solution you both can agree on.
