Yeah, it's unfortunate because the writing is all over the wall that Android is going to go the way of iOS and drop 32-bit support entirely soon (maybe even Android 14?), especially with Arm's new CPU cores being 64-bit only, so it'll be inherent to most new phones soon anyway.
It's ultimately (in a matter of a couple years) gonna have to be switched to 64-bit or just no longer have a version that works on any new Android devices, not just Pixels, but I totally understand why it's not worth doing at this very moment, when I'm sure people trying to play on the newest Pixel phones only make up a fraction of current users.
