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.
