Because (on my laptop) there's zero benefit to running 64-bit version of the OS and there are some gotchas with a few things either not working or requiring enough faff to get working that it's annoying/frustrating/timeconsuming to do it. I ran 64-bit Ubuntu for 6 months and now have reverted back to 32-bit. My laptop has 4GB of RAM but there's a flaw in that it will only show 3.3GB to the OS, whether it's 64-bit or 32-bit.
