Most apps don't need native x86_64. Only things that really push the limits of CPU/memory utilization need it, which, aside from bloatware (which admittedly is at epidemic levels lately), is really only a minority of apps. For the rest, if it already runs fine on 32-bit, then the same exec on a 64-bit machine is only going to run better anyway, and if is already ran fine before, then there's no problem.
