Another "old one" still in production is the 8051.. although not as old as the 6502 (the original 8051 came in 1980), they're produced in large amounts still. Intel don't make them anymore, but others do, and, just as for the WDC 65C02 many of those are in the form of 'cores' for FPGA or ASICs. But you can still get them in chip form.

I have three rather nice Tini motherboards with the DS80c400 and DS80c410 onboard. I guess they still make the chip, but are not providing the Tini system with Lan interface, a couple of Rs232 ports, 1-wire, SPI and so on.
The 8051s that live on are mostly with additional internal RAM or I guess replacement devices. Having to add parallel RAM is rather retro in this day and age.
I would guess that at least some of those companies are on the list because their parts are used IN a lot of popular equipment (ie. Silicon Labs). Not that the parts by themselves are so popular or well known.

Pecan praline should be in there somewhere!

Sadly, he died today at age 88.
