It's not being ignored. The Linux kernel added the option to build a
32-bit kernel with time_t having 64 bits

 
The same has happened for Windows and Apple's operating systems.
A lot of the work for 2038 is already done.

 
They're not supporting 32-bit code any more. Linux is.

 
Apple only run 64-bit code on recent OSes, yes, but Windows 11 still
runs 32-bit applications, even though the OS is only available in 64-bit
form.

But those 32-bit Windows apps are not being rebuilt for 64-bit time_t. The
option isn’t there.
