They're working on it... They actually have started generating 64-bit
nightly builds for Windows and Linux:
https://nightly.mozilla.org/

If I had to guess what the hold-up has been:

User confusion about which version to use (32-bit will work for
everyone, 64-bit won't)
Plugin availability (even Adobe and Sun didn't make 64-bit flash or
java until recently)
