Not really true. Plenty of Linux distributions dropped 32bit support years ago and 32bit systems are a lot younger than 20 years (last ones were some Intel Atoms released around 2010).

"32bit systems are a lot younger than 20 years"

I don't follow. The i386 is almost 40 years old now. Can you elaborate?

it may have began 4 decades ago, but what matters is that only one decade ago new hardware was still being released.

And new processors stopped supporting x86-32 a decade ago?

nope, new processors still do. At least on intel/amd processors. it's only software that decided to drop support
