If you are upgrading over El Capitan, and not doing a clean install, the CC2015 versions will remain in the Application folder. If there is a reason you need to stay with the older version don’t do a clean install. Your CC subscrption only allows the most recent and previous versions to be installed, so after a clean install you would only be able to get CC2019 or CC2020.

No applications would be removed when you update to a new macOS version. The question is whether that particular version of the application will run properly. 

 

Is there a reason you're running such old versions of those applications? According to the system specs, the current version of InDesign 2020 will run under High Sierra.
