Hah, I'm not Loongson employee so maybe I'm not in the best position to
answer this ;-)
But from an outsider's perspective, the Loongson people obviously
reserved things upfront like a multi-millionaire, then suddenly realized
they only have ~500 people on board, developers even less; so they did
the Right Thing(TM), only later, to drop x32 altogether and focus their
energy on bare-metal use cases for their 32-bit-only chips.
Plus, LoongArch is strictly little-endian, and only one baseline ISA
revision is published so far, so IMO it can never beat MIPS in terms of
combinatorial ABI possibilities. Maybe RISC-V have a chance? ;-)
