It's all about the players, there are a ton of games and mods that date from around '06 they still have quite some servers online and are being played at any given time. If the players don't want SAMP to die out, it won't.

**or well, I'm not sure how the samp client works, but I believe it tracks servers with a server, so if that server would close, that'd surely make it harder to find servers, direct IP and favourites would always work though.
