_Why_ are you proposing a 32 bit solution that suffers from having to change the epoch every so often, given that we have a 64 solution that lacks this drawback?

What’s the use case for it, where this would be a good trade off?

For simple devices like IOT etc to be able to keep using the short 32bit date format. Also for databases that may store dates as integers to save the space. There are plenty of cases that may want to keep using a short 32bit date format. After 2038 anyone will be able to count 32bit time from any arbitrary point of time so before that happens I'm simply suggesting a standardized way of reliably restarting it for centuries to come
