Except Apple itself says it might not make sense to do so. From the 64-bit
Transition Guide:
"Although 64-bit executables make it easier for you to manage large
data sets (compared to memory mapping of large files in a 32-bit application),
the use of 64-bit executables may raise other issues. Therefore you should
transition your software to a 64-bit executable format only when the 64-bit
environment offers a compelling advantage for your specific purposes.
This chapter explores some of the reasons you might or might not want to
transition your software to a 64-bit executable format…."
