Yes, but then promoting the Raspberry Pi as "64 bit product" seems almost gimmicky to me. Ok, you switched to an AArch64 chip, but that was simply because it's what your supplier was producing at that time. It makes no sense to me to promote a feature you don't support or make use of, if not for simple and pure marketing reasons.

That there are other OSes that do support it mean that it is a feature.
Which OSes are that? I couldn't find a single one.
Arch Linux ARM will do AArch64: https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8/broadcom/raspberry-...

There's also Pi64[1] which I have used and liked.
FreeBSD/arm64 works great on RPi3

Reminds me of the 386 when 8M ram was quite a lot. 4 Gigs address space ! Few people even had hard drives that held 4 gigs.
