Same thing that's kept all the other emulators from being taken down: not being illegal.

Sort of. Nintendo's lawyers showed up at the house of the lead dev and he nuked everything he had access to afterwards, which is all we really know, but unlike Yuzu there were no court filings or takedowns or anything. Forks of Ryujinx are still just up on Github.
