There is a community of 16 bit DOS users out there. Some of those folks are using 16 bit x86 devices in small embedded systems. It's a small community to be sure, but not zero sized.
Back in the bad old DOS days, the 8 bit CPM computers suffered a similar fate. The CPM programmers were a bit upset that their computers, software, expertise, was no longer wanted. They were also upset that their dev tools were no longer being developed, but understood that was because none of the CPM programmers wanted to pay any money for them. All the software for CPM had reverted to free and essentially abandoned.
