For those people not professional developers selling to a non-corporate customer base:

FlyingPig said it with some detail already:

Writing for 64-bits is more complex than just choosing the size of variables, and it's exclusivity makes it a glaringly obvious bad risk.

You cannot expect every potential customer to buy a new 64-bit OS just to run a new product. My guess is that the vast majority of those potential customers are more casual users.

They already have this information, no?

Yes we do, but keep in mind we are looking 2 years ahead here!
