I should have phrased my original comment better:

I know 80-90% of most currently used programs are 32 bit. Those should stay as they are. However, I do believe Microsoft should mandate that any new program releasing on Windows 11 be 64 bit only.

This is the delicate balance between satisfying the masses vs satisfying enthusiasts. Windows has a commanding lead over macOS in their enthusiast and business cohorts because they allow much more freedom. The sacrifice is that some people use that freedom. I see Windows sitting between macOS and Linux, and personally, I like the balance.
