Is there really a need for them?
The c variants of zen are for cloud and are more compact variants of the full zen 5 cores, they generally want as many cores in as compact a format as possible.
We might see 5c show up in SoCs (like the chip in a hypothetical steam deck 2) as well because they want their chips to be as small as possible so they can price their devices as competitively as possible. I don't think we will see those go up to 32 cores however as there is indeed no need for that many cores on consumer chips.
