This isn't accurate.
The most popular Steam OS is Windows 7, 64bit.

Steam usage data shows the the overwhelming majority of Windows 8
installs are 64-bit, so newer Windows installs are 64-bit almost
as a rule.
Old Microsoft posts show a surge in 64-bit installs.

Modern Microsoft and Sony consoles use 64-bit processors.
Smartphones and tablets are a notable exception, probably due to
their lower memory requirements, but this won't last forever.
So I don't think it's fair to say "most computers aren't 64-bit."
A good fair chunk of computers are.
