I'd wholeheartedly object to that statistics.
In Paris alone we have the Programming Education CD in almost every
school, which is for the Windows 8+Windows 10 32bit machines to
install a Cygwin-based app to teach pupils programming in Pascal and
C.
That are around 11000 installations alone, and scaled up to France a lot more.
Last edition was made in 2022, with 14000 CDs (one CD --> multiple
installations) shipped until mid-2024.

Bummer is, most of these school PCs are 32bit only, and they are not
being replaced before 2028-2032, but the programming environment needs
to be updated or replaced before 2025.

So YES, there is a market for 32bit Cygwin!!
