Isn't it because 32-bit builds take half of the memory? And for a lot of apps, there's no need for more than 4G of addressable space.

they still have users running 16-bit programs on the 32-bit kernel. they will probably always have users running 16-bit programs who demand a 32-bit kernel. time to finally accept the death of the expectation of the death of the 32-bit kernel

Not only that, OEMs have still been shipping 32-bit only hardware, or selling 64-bit hardware with a 64-bit OS as an upsell, fairly recently. Isn't the biggest Windows install base still pirate Windows XP too?

10% of Windows users are still on 32 bit OSes according to netmarketshare. That's likely due to people purchasing the wrong version of Windows, but whatever the cause that's the situation we're in. So for a lot of these companies I have to imagine 32 is just easier to support.
