Are you implying newer browsers don't work with 32bit? Chrome and FireFox run as 32-bit and all IE versions still use a 32-bit renderer. These things are true on 64-bit and 32-bit machines, at least on Windows.

From the technical level of the article I think they have allowed for that. I took that item to mean some fraudsters run customized browsers / extensions that result in a null value when non-null value would be expected eg. useragent is some post-2010 browser.
DNT wasn't proposed until 2009 (and implemented in 2010). So this would be normal (DNT header not sent) on older OS versions. So it's the same reason as the 32 bit OS on a 64 bit machine assuming people use IE coming with the installation (or downloading an old browser that is still usable in 32bit).
