That's significant, but tier 3 is still a caveat. Still allowed to break without blocking anything or being fixed as a priority.

Sure, but I had to look:

Tier1: Windows x64/i686, Linux x64/ARM gcc, Darwin/ARM

Tier2: Linux x64/ARM w/ clang, Windows ARM, WASM, Darwin/x64

Tier3 is a pretty low support level, but tiers 1 and 2 is a pretty short list of major commercial platforms. Also even for developers to fix, availability of e.g. RiscV machines in the cloud to reproduce and fix on is still somewhat limited.
