64 bit x86 based processors were first released over 12 years ago. I
don't think you have been able to buy a 32 bit only x86 processor for over
5 years now, so the numbers of 32 bit only machines is dwindling.

That depends on what you mean. You have not been able to purchase a new
single core processor in quite a few years. As far as I am aware there
are no distributions which build without SMP support, but an SMP capable
kernel can run on a single core, so the situation with core count is not
quite the same as the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit builds.
