See (relatively recent) list of manfuacturers here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_x86_manufacturers and scroll down for other categories of x86 chip manufacturers. These have plenty of uses. Maybe in another 30 years' time they will mostly be a hobby, but we are very far from that time.

Which ones of those don’t have MMX / SSE? Debian is not enabling any x86 instruction extensions that didn’t ship on the Pentium Pro

This is not accurate, the Trixie 32-bit release requires a Pentium 4.
