The argument for Win64 is that there may be many people who know and
care little about Java, but have it already installed for reasons other
than AOO. Those installations are much more likely to be Win64 than x86.
Because AOO is x86 only it has to ask for an x86 JRE, even if there is a
perfectly good Win64 JRE already installed.
I have no idea of the frequency of that situation.

This has never been a major request from our users, and also technically
speaking the benefits a user would gain by running a 64-bit version are
not so big. Sure, it look modern and it is good for marketing, and it is
nice to have, but better OOXML compatibility (for example) would make
many more users happy.
