Historical baggage, they weren't the first system programming languages, got lucky with UNIX's license allowing for widespread adoption, and won't be the last one standing either.

Considering that they are evolving, I think they are more likely than not to stay standing. There might be other similar languages developed in parallel, but after over 30 years of whining C and C++ are still popular. I don't expect that to change.
