Why not use fedora 35 for dom0?
Wouldn’t it make it easier to maintain, while also getting better hardware support?

Thanks. But that does not answer any of the questions.
It only says why it is not necessary to run a newer one.
Every Qubes release goes through a significant testing round - Qubes 4.1
is in the midst of that with (now) rc4, but has already been through an
alpha and beta round.
At that time Fedora 32 was still a recent release.
Every release has to draw a line somewhere - it would not be feasible to
keep updating dom0 as the testing rounds progress.
Those are good arguments.
However, I am testing out 4.1 and looking a bit into the cause of the bugs
I see (loading the coredumps in gdb).
I find my motivation for using time on getting to the bottom of the errors
dropping because there is a chance that the errors are already fixed in
newer versions.
How hard it would be for me to test it out on newer versions, I wonder.
It would be nice if Qubes was something you could add to an existing
installation.
