Yeah, for the upcoming/already happening 64-bit-only transition (now that Qualcomm is dropping 32-bit support from their latest CPU generations), Google has decided to go for a hard cut-off, i.e. old apps that are still 32-bit-only simply won't run anymore.
Though from what I've heard, some third party OEMs (I think Xiaomi at least?) still have elected to ship a translation layer for their phones at the moment.
