You will get that popup when you run *any* 32-bit app.

Apple appears not to care.

It depends who you mean by "they". If you mean Apple, then no; they are clearly moving the Mac along a path of removing 32-bit support. On the other hand, CodeWeavers, one of the developers of Wine, has been working on a way to continue to run 32-bit Windows apps in Wine on macOS even after Apple removes the ability to run 32-bit programs. I do not know the specifics of how they plan to accomplish this.
