Not all eight bit, but 32 bit was really more of a nineties thing. The first 386 PC didn't come out until 1987, but hardly anyone had them until about 1990. The 68k was a hybrid 16/32 bit processor, and the IIgs didn't come out until 1987 and hardly anyone bought one. If you were to go into someone's home or office in 1989 and see how many bits their computer had, it was overwhelmingly likely to have been 8 or 16.
