Some chips are targeted to the "Vehicle infotainment system" market, where the chipmakers commit to making them for 10+ years. I think this is why the am335x and imx6 are still available, despite the am335x being older than the Raspberry Pi 1. Of course, such chips are generally slower than flagship phone/tablet processors even at launch, and after 10-15 years even moreso.
