As explained on the relevant feature page, this hasn't actually been
implemented.

Uh, you can't really buy a 32-bit machine other than a netbook here in
Western Europe anymore either.
Of course, some old 32-bit-only computers are still in use (like the one I'm
typing this message on), but I don't think those are significantly more or
less common here than in the US.
