If you wanted that, you'd probably run x32-mode (or whatever it gets called
on ARM64), which I'd expect to also be more efficient ;-)
Seriously, backwards-compatibility is the only reason I can think of
really, but that doesn't /have/ to mean existing binaries; there is a large
amount of source code that can readily be compiled to any CPU as long as
it's little-endian 32-bit.
