AFAIK all these programs allow generation of <=64 character password

A 64 character alpha-numeric password has 36^64 combinations. That's 2^330. You're trillions of times more likely to find a hash collision than brute force the password (assuming 256bit hashes).
Security-wise there is absolutely 0 difference between allowing >64 character passwords and not. From a user experience perspective I'm sure arguments could be made either way
