Q. If Android is built with 16KB page size, does that mean all termux packages must be recompiled with 16 KB page support?

Yes.

But considering the massive impact of this change and the amount of legacy code in the entire ecosystem, this process may take longer than the transition from 'Google Play requiring 64-bit' to the 'launch of the first arm64-only phone (Pixel 7)'
