I think part of them escaped the island (including Sam's ancestors), which provoked Himiko's curse. The rest died out due to a lack of resources. That would have eventually happened because the curse kept anyone from leaving or entering. The Solarii had more luck because modern times mean more ship able to reach the island, and so more ressources to scavenge from them.

I don't think they would have been wiped out by the Stormguard as long as they didn't intrude in the queen's sanctuary.
