If everyone has moved on from 32bit, and the old stuff doesn’t change, where is the maintenance requirement?

The problem is that it's not old unchanging code, people want the latest supported version so they can still run their 32-bit binaries with the latest supporting libraries.

And if the upstream developers don't consider 32-bit support important, then it falls on the distro maintainers to patch the code to keep it running in these situations.
