Because they are a good airline. They used to be the best, now they are not. Standards have definitely dropped. If you set very high standards, it's very hard to keep them. Especially with expansion as rapid as Emirates'.

However, business will continue to be good because:

1, Aggressive marketing
2, previous reputation
3, decent loyalty programme
4, Good tie ups with holiday companies

If the general level of service is improved by the economy revamp, then the loss of custom from those disillusioned by the drop in service standards may be negligible.

They are also the best of the three airlines who fly direct to the UK at the moment (in economy - in club and first BA knock them into a cocked hat).
