Removal of 32bit i386 / i686 / i683

Hello everyone,
I would like Steam to finally replace the 32 bit packages with 64 bit only packages, so that you can finally take the step to remove the 32 bit packages under Linux for security reasons. Years ago the developers had already planned to do this, but had to discard things because of you. Currently the same was the case with Fedora, and it was also discarded because it is not yet possible due to Steam.
Is it possible to get a 64 bit only version without 32 bit packages?
Proton 10 is supposed to be able to translate the games from 32 bit to 64 bit, I believe. (I don't think testing/ works so well at the moment)

Many others would also like to see a version that only uses 64 bit packages.
