When we choose a minimum Java version with no 32-bit JRE available, those users will have to buy some new hardware. I still have a computer manufactured in 2008 somewhere at home, it has a 64-bit CPU. There are a very few people still using very obsolete machines with 32-bit CPUs, we're talking about hardware made several decades ago. I totally get that 32-bit support is still useful for a very few people but keep in mind that you're currently only postponing an inevitable change.
