A lot of 32 bit binaries come bundled with their 64 bit counterparts to ensure compatibility with other software or APIs, nothing you can do about it, but also nothing to worry about.

Hahaha, look 32 bit is identical to 64bit the only note worthy difference is that 64bit software can use more than 3,8gb of system RAM, that's it... if the software you use has literally no need for that extra ram running on 32bit usually result in more stable functionality, any 64bit OS can run both 32bit and 64bit software, and for good reason as stated many software see no need in going 64bit.

Most software will come as 32bit by default. Unless you specify them to be 64bit. Some have both included but you have to shortcut or launch 64bit yourself. Give some example of which software should be 64bit? Browsers are good example of software where you need to select 64bit version.
