Huh? You can't be serious. I've been keeping a 32bit-only set of wine
packages on my machine for quite some time and I'd be quite annoyed
if I suddenly had to install all corresponding 64bit ones, too.

When did you implement this change and for which Fedora release?
Could you point to its announcement?

The reason is to ensure 64bit subpackages dependency on main package
won't be satisfied by a 32bit counterpart and vice-versa. This has
always been the case.
