Or you could donate the money to fund adding and supporting such
systems.

More seriously, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RetireARMv7
is about Fedora 37 (or so) working to no longer support armv7 at
all. Also, quoting https://www.linuxserver.io/blog/end-of-an-arch :

"MongoDB dropped support for 32-bit platforms with version 4.x"
"Alpine no longer builds new Java packages for 32-bit platforms"

Things are winding down for armv7 (without aarch64) and
other 32 platforms, though it takes a long time. aarch64
with aarch32/armv7 will likely become less common as well.

Looking to the future seems more likely than looking to the
past. The closest fit might be aarch64 hardware that can
exectute aarch32/armv7 code if something was to be done.
But how likely would this be the top priority for the required
amount of funds vs. other alternative uses?
