From the msdn documentation (and this is my guess as to why the WiX team choose this course of requiring the components also be marked as 64-bit).

Set this bit to mark this as a 64-bit component. This attribute facilitates the installation of packages that include both 32-bit and 64-bit components. If this bit is not set, the component is registered as a 32-bit component.


Yep. Basically, the idea from the MSI perspective seems to be that 64-bit packages would tend to have mostly shared 32-bit components with a few 64-bit components for things that actually get benefit from 64-bit address space, etc.
