After 15 to 20 years of 64bit supporting systems being sold, I don't think it's an issue to drop 32bit support. Even if someone wants to use such an old pc for any reason, it should be fine to run an older version of Minecraft. There's still MC 1.8 servers around, and they'll likely continue to exist for many years to come.
