You are confusing the kernel vs the userland. If the CPU is 64-bits
capable you can run apps in 64-bits when they have been compiled for it.

Proof: on 10.6 on a Core 2 Duo, apps can run in 64-bits if it is
provided (I have Aperture and Lightroom to prove it) but the kernel
still runing in 32-bits.

Bottom line: as long as we want to support 10.6 we have to provide
32-bits binaries.
