If you download a Windows application e.g. https://www.textpad.com/download https://www.textpad.com/download you often have to decide whether to download the 32-bit or 64-bit version. Not a big problem for any of us HN users, for sure. But it's not a great interface e.g. for my dad, who just bought a laptop, which "runs Windows", he doesn't know whether it's the 32-bit or 64-bit version. Might not be so relevant today for Windows, as I guess it's been a while since 32-bit Windows was popular. But the point stands, that during times when there are multiple versions in popular use, as will soon be the case for the Mac platform, asking the user to choose which they have is confusing, as they might not know. Being able to download a single binary and it "just works" is exactly the user-interface for a download page that you want.
