... 32 bit ... is to be expected?
I don't plan to create one at all
I see. Since SLE 12 is 64 bit only, it would be quite a lot of work to create a 32 bit branch for Leap.
If I understand this, it means 32 bit users when 13.2 support and Evergreen support expire either switch to another distro, switch to the rolling release TW, or risk non-support?
It seems your underlying assumption is that you have some kind of "right" to demand 32 bit support from SUSE. I wrote intentionally SUSE not openSUSE. With SUSE I mean that SUSE employees do the lot of work to create a 32 bit branch for Leap. But openSUSE is a free project. I assume there is nothing in openSUSE that forbids that a group of openSUSE users could do the lot of work to create and maintain a 32 bit branch for Leap? What I like to tell is: If a group of openSUSE users has needs that are not fulfilled by SUSE then that group of openSUSE users can usually do it on its own (provided it is not against openSUSE policies). As far as I know Evergreen is done this way. Perhaps it is much easier to contribute to Evergreen to get and keep support for released 32 bit versions via Evergreen as long as needed.
