Nice post, but I think you have already given yourself the answer.

x64 doubles the number of registers and is a lot easier, not only faster, for a developer to implement assembly optimizations.

I don't think that in 2018 it's some kind of priority to optimize for x86.

The percentage of x86-only OSes and CPUs are close to 0.

Of course, nothing stops you from asking.
