This post here has a section on the reasons to drop 32-bit

But essentially storage and memory savings, maintainability savings and some issues with the ObjC runtime.
I assume part of the issue too is being able to enable pointer authentication, which afaik uses the higher end bits to store data, and being able to do that allows them to secure the OS better. So 32-bit support likely was a security risk factor as a result too.
