Well, AVX does explicitly add 256-bit integer loads and stores: https://software.intel.com/sites/landingpage/IntrinsicsGuide/#techs=AVX&text=_m256i https://software.intel.com/sites/landingpage/IntrinsicsGuide.... And some of the Boolean operations can be quite useful on integers. So even for integers, I was definitely wrong to characterize AVX as 128-bit.
