I am not sure why but can guess that since this is open source volunteers that there is no developers interested in doing the work. I am sure it can get quite expensive to buy the tools needed to work on 64 bit programs. As for Java, both 32 and 64 bit can and should be installed. 32 bit programs are stored in a special directory so they do not conflict with 64 bit programs.
