Not really. 32-bit apps run on Mojave and below without needing 64-bit code. Unless an app needs to address more than 4 GB of RAM, there's no great need to make it 64-bit. On the other hand, going from 32 to 64 bit requires work up front.

The work to make the move to 64-bit already happened so keeping both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries takes up additional space, additional upkeep, and separate development paths.
