I can hardly imagine Teamviewer is the only 32-bit only GUI program.

There are all sorts of proprietary programs like Skype that are only
provided as 32-bit packages (there's a "skypeforlinux" package which
is 64-bit but it's an "alpha" release).

Maybe it would work fine from inside a 32-bit container, I have no
idea, but we should be careful not to make it harder for normal users
to install and use software distributed outside Fedora. And not make
it harder for ISVs to provide RPMs that work on Fedora with minimal
effort.
