That's only your (mis)interpretation of what is happening. OpenSUSE is not planning to abandon all "current i586 openSUSE users". Only those who insist on staying with 32-bit distribution so strongly that they would rather change the distribution than upgrade to a 64-bit system. I believe most current i586 openSUSE users do not use this architecture out of necessity. There may be some, sure, but IMHO it's just a small fraction; some (like you) do it for their beliefs but most of them only because of inertia and lack of an impulse strong enough to push them into migration. For those, switching to x86_64 may be an inconvenience - and we should do our best to it as small one as we can - but much less of inconvenience that moving to a different distribution. And they should also consider that others are probably going to do the same, sooner or later (some already declared so). In other words: I don't believe majority of current i586 openSUSE users would switch to a different distribution just because of the lack of an i586 Leap release. Not by far.
