If the question is why , then the answer is because reasons :).
Those services that were having issues with 32 limitations, were re-compiled for 64bit, those that didn't remained 32bit and all new ones come as 64.
So, except one connection server and legacy crystal services, everything else is 64bit.
All clients are 32 bit, because majority of users (statistically) are on 32bit win OS'ses and the client tools usage patterns do not warrant move to 64bit.
Clients that do - like Lumira, are available in 64.

But not all parts of the BO server processes are 64-bit, Amit. As Denis mentioned, there is a 32-bit Connectivity server and all of the "classic" Crystal servers (the ones that have the year in their names) are also 32-bit.
