The support isn’t exclusivity for native 32 bit cpus, it’s for 32bit libraries that compatibility applications like wine/proton depend on to run 32bit windows executables
Even further: The support is exclusively for the 32bit libraries. The 32bit kernel and therefore cpu support was dropped a long time ago in Fedora. Fedora 31 in 2019.
How much 32bit only hardware is still out there in the wild and not still running on windows XP?
Sounds like a problem for a purpose built distro, not a mainline one.
EDIT: I stand corrected. I thought it was hardware 32bit support being discussed. It’s premature to discontinue 32-bit libraries.

Thank you for the correction.

Fedora already won’t run on 32bits hardware. That is not the issue being discussed here.
I stand corrected. Thank you.
