it's a waste of time
Rubbish.
One of the great values of Linux is an x86 32bit version for embedded x86 and older hardware. Why should I replace perfectly working HW at huge expense for crappy modern stuff that has no parallel or serial or PS/2 ports etc. Or no PCMCIA/Cardbus slot.
This is about 10 to 20 years too soon.
Third party issues?
"This includes things like Google Chrome, Docker"
Not interest in those ANYWAY, especially on the 32 bit legacy HW and applications.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
