The 32-bit version either needs to be statically linked, or requires compatibility libraries. Google Earth and Skype is currently the only things on my Linux machine that requires these compatibility libraries (it's been this way for years, although Flash used to be on the list too). If I didn't use those programs, or they finally released a 64-bit version, I would get rid of the compatibility libraries. Also note that using different standard libraries than the rest of the system uses more memory because they are not shared. I think it's quite backward-thinking to not distribute 64-bit builds for 64-bit architectures. But I also think it's silly to install software without a package manager...
