Apple depreciated 32-bit, a year before Apple Silicon came out, which allowed them to more precisely target 64-bit processor speed without legacy baggage. Apple Silicon on iOS had dropped 32-bit years before and they didn’t want to bring it back for macOS. Android is following with 32-bit deprecation this year, actually. Pixel 7 doesn’t support 32-bit apps.
