As for ChipMixer, I believe they have very good reasons not to implement Bech32 yet:
I'm not sure I follow that logic. The anonymity from using ChipMixer does not rely on an attacker not being able to tell an output came from ChipMixer. Indeed, it is trivial to identity a ChipMixer output, given their characteristic funding transactions with 50 outputs of 0.016 BTC, or similar. It is therefore irrelevant if an output is legacy or Bech32 - it can easily be identified as a ChipMixer output either way. Rather, the anonymity comes from being unable to link these outputs to any inputs due to the time travel funding structure and set chip size.
Anyone can copy ChipMixer's "characteristinc funding" for their own transactions: just take an input, and create many chip-sized outputs in one transaction.

I've made some lists counting currently funded addresses in chips-size.

I'm using data from October 24 because of bandwidth problems
I only check the total balance, some addresses may have received funds several times.
