The primary reason why it is this way is usually defended by: "When my aunt comes to the download page, she won't know which version to download because she doesn't know what 64 bit is. The goal is to have my aunt download something that will work. It doesn't matter how good it works." It is no surprise that this is also the primary reason why Gnome Desktop spin is called the Desktop spin. However, I think people are more busy with the "user playing root" thread, so that this thread got discarded for now.
