On the other hand, it is a bit crazy and impressive that OS X/macOS has had to support 32-bit x86 binaries for >12 years because they sold 32-bit Core Duo machines from January 2006 (introduction of Core Duo iMac) until August 2007 (replacement of Core Duo Mac Mini with Core 2 Duo version). 12 years of binary support because they sold 32-bit x86 CPUs for 20 months.
