Because native.
The processor natively supports all 32 bit code when running in 64 bit more. It just works as far as native hardware goes.
You also need your library dependencies installed too, and indeed on Linux that might be an extra install (just like any other dependencies...), but on Windows, the 32 bit core libs are always installed and with D, you don't really use other stuff anyway.
D on Windows 32 bit just works and generates an exe that just works on basically any Windows box from the last 15 years and will likely continue to just work for AT LEAST the next 5, probably more.
If you're playing around... really no reason not to just use the 32 bit one.
