Are Windows 32-bit wheels being used?

Are folks still using the 32-bit wheels on Windows?

I tried to find download statistics on PyPI but couldn’t find anything broken down by wheel architecture. Ideally, we’d reduce our CI resource use and stop building them, but we can reconsider if they are still being used.

For example, I use Python 3.8-32
I am forced to use 3.8 because it is the last version that supports Win 7, and I have users who use Win 7/32 bit OS. So even stopping the 3.8 wheels caused me problems.
Unfortunately, with the disappearance of Win 7, the 32 bit problem does not disappear, because a 32 bit version was also made of Win 10.
