This isn't the first time that a new version of MacOS has screwed things up, by this point I figured Apple users would be used to waiting 3-6 months after a release to let everything settle, especially those users who depend on their devices in a professional capacity. Catalina also removes itunes, so any program that relied on it for library management or audio services is bricked as well, which covers a hefty portion of DJ tools and production software like Apple's own Protools. So if a user 'upgrades' to Catalina, they not only can't use these apps, they can't even uninstall them since the uninstaller is, you guessed it, a 32-bit application. Microsoft is in a similar boat with its Office suite. Adobe is having a ridiculously hard time navigating this change as various 32-bit components are in every single product and utility they offer. The issues are also not limited to 'smaller' dev outfits like MG, either. That includes core programs, plug-ins, license/activation services, audio/video/device drivers, etc etc. With Catalina, support for ANY 32-bit processes is removed. I think a lot of people don't quite grasp just how big of a wrench in the works Catalina is for developers. The hit-or-miss operation is likely due to some users having a program or driver package installed that has a dependency/driver/library that is 64-bit compatible, and therefore allows M32 Edit to run.
