Is there a technical reason why 32bit Cygwin cannot be installed on
64bit Windows? We like to create a CI build pipeline, and want to
create binaries for 32bit and 64bit Cygwin on the same machine, but
setup.exe for 32bir Cygwin refuses to install

Practical reason is 32 bit usage < 1% and Cygwin is all volunteer, with professionally and/or personally busy developers lacking time to do more.
You are on your own with 32 bit dropped, so ask questions on forums like SO.
