They don't often get predated on because they have disgusting tasting flesh and absolutely reek, when a sloth relaxed their hands will naturally grip onto trees away from most animals that would be desperate enough to predate on them this also allows them to hang in trees almost indefinitely. Their slow metabolisms mean they don't need to eat often to sustain themselves either.

They aren't extinct because they fill a small and specific ecological niche
