Having worked at big companies, I start to suspect that many recent Apple deprecations are detached from technical reasons or customer scenarios. They are playing internal games and don't care if it makes sense nor will they have any interest in reversing or revisiting the wrong call later on. I am not just talking about 32-bit support. It shows up in a lot of random libraries that wind up deprecated and replaced with something less capable. That's a pattern I have seen a lot elsewhere and it's usually a bad sign for overall product quality.
