This is not a feature of Illumos, rather it is a feature of the compiler delivered by the distribution.
There are compilers targeting Illumos which produce 64-bit output by default.
There is nothing actually wrong with 32-bit apps since they can safely address 2GB of memory, which is quite a lot. The 64-bit ABI does provide more registers and instructions and improved calling convention so code may run faster.
