Why are there no stretch/stretch-slim/buster/buster-slim variants for arm32v6

I was wondering why the variants stretch/stretch-slim/buster/buster-slim are built for arm32v7 and arm64v8 but not for arm32v6?

I can see different architecture files across the repository:

https://github.com/nodejs/docker-node/blob/master/architectures (includes all)
https://github.com/nodejs/docker-node/blob/master/10/architectures
https://github.com/nodejs/docker-node/blob/master/12/architectures
https://github.com/nodejs/docker-node/blob/master/14/architectures

But on docker hub neither node:10, node:12 or node:14 has the arm32v6 variant listed. Could this be some kind of a syncing issue?

Okay I just found nodejs/build#1677 and I think it answers the question.

TL;DR:

Support and testing is to cumbersome for the Node.js Team so they dropped official armv6 support.

But I just recognized that there are still the alpine builds here, so I am confused 😅.

Debian doesn't support arm32v6 - only v5 (armel) and v7 (armhf).
