True but misleading. Like one of the other commenters also mentioned, most integers are small. For 32-bit you might run into integers above 2^23 bits once in a while, but for 64-bits it’s really not that common to have integers above 2^53, unless it’s a bit pattern instead of a natural number. So you could reasonably say “most integers _are_ 64-bit floats.”
