The don’t let backwards compatibility stop them from doing anything, but I don’t think they go out of their way to target games. That doesn’t make any sense to me.
All 32-bit support got dropped, so you're totally right. It might appear to target games because games are disproportionately likely to not get updated to new archs and to be run long after they were introduced. Nobody is going back to run some 32-bit-only RSS reader or text editor from 2007 even though there surely were some.
