Because I want to store something that is a 64bit int? I mean this is really a weird question. There are a lot of things that require this starting with timestamps:

Which you can store as two 32 bit integers, or one 53 bit integer. Nothing requires native 64 bit.

64 bit is nicer than 32 bit, but it's scarcely more necessary than 128 bit numbers.
