Clean written code should not care about pointers or integers are 32
or 64 bit or byte order. Code written in a higher language should run
on any hardware, otherwise I call it "defect".
In theory you may have right but in practice I guess most currently used
code would not run correctly on 16bit machines.
In practice you have to run and test the code on all target
architectures to keep it portable.
Right. Remember the Ariane!

Even with a high level language carefully designed to discourage
loose programming and dirty low-level tricks, it is still possible,
although with strong efforts, to fuck the compiler and keep programming
at a very low level. And, unfortunately, there are programmers who like
doing such things.
