I would question why any desktop computer manufacturers were still even shipping
non-64-bit capable hardware in 2010.
Apple Macintoshes were 64 bit Intel across the board in 2006, or 11 years ago.
People like to accuse Apple of being constantly behind the curve on hardware
compared to other PC makers, and yet other makers were shipping 32 bit only
still 4 years after Apple stopped?

Thing is, I have a computer from 2010, Win 7 32-bit. It's fast enough for me,
and does what I want it to do. I'm not going to spend money just to run Perl6.
It doesn't even compile on cygwin.
Python is available in 32-bit. Why not perl6?
