What does linux have to do with anything? They can use 64-bit only mode any time they like, and plenty of Linux machines for the last 4-5 years have been pure 64. It's mostly people using commercial software (games, stuff like Skype) that have to have multiarch, but less and less of those are 32-bit as time passes.

Additionally, of the three main x86 OSes (Windows, macOS and Linux); Linux' solution to dual-mode is easily the worst, specifically so it is easy to run it in pure 64 mode.

no. SOFTWARE multiarch is SOLVED long ago. so not removing it is excuse. not technical hurdle (not software hurdle, not hardware hurdle)

youre saying ( and people you are taking this bull from, are saying it to you ) that comercial software will abandon windows and intel if new computers wont support 32 bit. that is what you are copying from these thick people and saying to me right now... it is ridiculous.

computers NOT having 64support are how old ? 15 years ? 20 years

YOU PERSONALLY CHECK IT, FOR YOU. SO YOU KNOW.

if that does not provide enough information for you, to correct your totally ridiculous statement then i do not know how to help you. ( i understand a lot of people is saying it to you wrong like that, but still )

Yes, MY statement is the totally unhinged and insane one.

Got it.
