What is "support" supposed to mean? Does that mean that the silicon for
PPC32LE has and will never exist? Or does this mean that they are simply
not interested in supporting Linux on ppc32le like this with support
employees and stuff?

I think if the silicon exists and people play around with it, we should
keep the thing probably. However, if this is a theoretic architecture
only, then let's kill it.
