Their days are numbered and they know this! They need to preserve the balance of things to prevent their role in soundtracking from completely disappearing. But know this: they will become obsolete. One day, the Bene Tleilax will create machines to make soundtracks. And don't think the Butlerian Jihad's exhortation to refrain from making a machine in the image of a DJ will stop them.
But the Bene Gesserit. Ah, they are a cunning bunch. Maintaining the status quo just long enough to fulfill their breeding program. And once the Kwisatz Haderach is born (he who can produce many soundtracks at once), then the balance will shift to the Sisterhood.
