Might there be some confusion here?

Debian doesn't have a "Pi OS" and it was rather unfortunate the first 
Raspberry Pi was launched *after* the baseline for Debian's armhf was 
already decided. The only pure Debian that would work on the Raspberry 
Pi was armel.

That is why Raspbian (the predecessor of Raspberry Pi OS from the 
Raspberry Pi Foundation) was born, it was basically Debian's armhf 
recompiled for the first Raspberry Pi.

You can follow the state of Debian architectures at 
https://release.debian.org/bookworm/arch_qualify.html.

At the moment it looks good for bookworm, though it's still early in the 
release cycle and even so, support for specific hardware might be 
dropped for independent reasons.

Kind regards,
Andrei
