Why? They decided the same. Both miners and users favor the fork where the 1MB block limit is kept.

Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold are used and mined very little.

Miners mine whatever is most profitable for them, regardless of how good or bad is that cryptocurrency, and they switch between BTC, BCH or any other SHA256 (not Bitcoin Gold, which uses a different hash function) even many times in a given day.

Yes. And users use what's most profitable for them. Compare usage volumes of btc, bch and btg.
