It might help to remember that the Earth is also a source of gravitation that attracts matter, but it doesn’t eat the solar system. Neither does Jupiter, which is far more massive. Neither does the sun, which is far more massive still. Black holes have great gravitational pull, but it’s not infinite, and over a long, long, long time they do radiate energy and equivalent mass away.
