32-bit hardware is still widely produced and deployed. Some desktop-focused distros have dropped 32-bit x86 support but I'm sure the kernel and toolchain will support 32-bit platforms for the foreseeable future. Certainly 32-bit ARM hasn't gone anywhere, and you can't swing a patch cable without hitting a SuperH.

You also have the kernel recently adopting both 32 and 64 bit RISC-V.
