Compaq viewed the OS as just enabling the sale of hardware. Given the dynamics of the industry (then and now) developers wrote for the volume market, and that was 16 bit. So I'm not sure anyone really cared, except a few oddball folks. Lotus did some work on a large memory version of 123, and a British company called Istel wrote a 32 bit simulation program for the platform which was very impressive, but I doubt they sold many copies.
