Well for one, there are no laws to prevent them from running. But as for why it’s them, as opposed to other candidates, the parties have elections (called primaries) to decide which candidate they will put forward in the general election. These two candidates got more votes in the primaries than any of their opponents. In the case of Biden, he was an incumbent, and no one generally runs against the incumbent of their own party, so he wasn’t really competing with anyone.
You’re glossing over how some of the more progressive dem voters were purged from the Democratic party voter rolls ahead of the primary 4 years ago, thus preventing Bernie’s fans from voting for him as the nominee.
