1) The article is checking what's the case in 2022. In my opinion it's quite reasonable to not let 32bit compete at all. (though there is a 32bit RISC there) 2) do you mean also on 64bit x86? Yeah, probably would be nice to see. But then again I would say that today's code is position independent. It's not useful with choice of ISA to compare a mode you would not run anyway. 3) That's not the argument this article aims (successfully) to debunk, though.
