Have to wonder if the reason they released 64-bit only is so they are less likely to receive bad interoperability reports?

I’ve never used 64-bit, and I realize you need 32-bit compatibility in userspace (libraries) on 64-bit installs to be able to run 32-bit programs – but am I the only person wondering if these drivers even work for 32-bit progs (when used on 64-bit installation)?
