More seriously, can you provide (hints at) numbers?  I was one of the

portability tests and doing taxes once per year is an ancient single
core machine with Windows 7 - and it runs 64-bit Windows 7, which no
longer has (basic) support from Microsoft.  So what's the actual
usecase?  Where are those 32-bit machines and what do they do that is
affected by the new bit reader?

It's not (so much) about 32 bit machines, but more about 32 bit applications. For windows, it's still very common to ship 32 bit binaries only. (For instance I'm not sure if Chrome switched to 64 bit already - if they did, it wasn't too long ago.)
