> I mean let's be honest for once, the gain from removing 32b frameworks is pretty much entirely on Apple's side

I've given you multiple concrete benefits to end users. You may not personally care about the code size difference, and you seem to be completely discounting the speed / memory usage issues, but just because you personally don't think those are a big deal doesn't mean they don't actually exist.

There are not benefits since they break software. You can get pretty much all of these by just removing remaining 32b software from your system.


Two things:

1) Just removing all 32-bit apps doesn't recover the disk space used by the 32-bit versions of frameworks, and

2) If you remove all 32-bit apps, then there's literally no point to retaining the 32-bit OS support anyway.
