Unfortunately there are still 32bit processors manufactured and sold
even these days, mainly for IOT though.

For instance Intel has released Quark (32bit i586 400Mhz CPU used in
Edison board) in 2014. First two batches of Raspberry Pi were 32bit
ARMv6/ARMv7, these are still sold today, etc.

So I would say that 32bit will stick with us for another ten years at
least.
