I guess no-one has told them how popular amd64/x86-64 is these days.

This only affects some distros

Red Hat and Fedora (and, AFAIK SUSE as well) support both 32-bit and 64-bit code on their 64-bit distributions, and provide nspluginwrapper to allow 32-bit plugins to run in a 64-bit Firefox.

It's harder to run 32-bit executables on x86-64 in a Debian-derived distro. On Fedora they just work.
