When I said "nobody uses 32 bit float for recording", I am referring to the result of the DA process that generates samples values used by a recorder.

Obviously, everyone and their mother uses 32 bit float as an internal sample format because of its fitness for purpose (except the folks who think they need 64 or 80 bit floating point, of course). But they are not using "32 bit floating point samples" - the samples come from an (at best) 18-22 bit integer conversion.
