Plenty of microcontrollers have a single-digit number of Cortex-M cores and memory/flash counted in the megabytes. It'll be decades until that market reaches the multi-gigabyte point, so why bother wasting a whole bunch of memory on 64-bit pointers?
I'm not quite sure why you'd want to run Erlang on it, but the hardware exists.
