Aren't 32-bit registers/operations also called "extensions" of their 16-bit counterparts on the x86 line, due to the ISA's 16-bit 8086/80286 lineage? So could one make the argument that a 16-bit int ought to

If 32-bit ints didn't make your structures consume far, far too much memory in the early '90s, when consumer-grade computers came with 4-8 M iB of RAM and 256 M iB disks, then I don't see how 64-bit ints could have done so in

Well, there is an argument to be had that, for C, a plain unadorned "int" should probably be the native word size for that architecture. On 64-bit systems, "int" would therefore also be 64 bits.
