I think it probably still does well solely because there still are no real viable alternatives available. Sims players were talking a big game about leaving after the buyout was announced, I honestly have no idea if that ended up being true, though.
I mean, it's not done. It's in early access by a small indie dev team. You're right that its not contending with it right now, and I'm not sure the expectations of the Sims fanbase will give them the time they need to develop it.
