That's the answer, or better said ... as long as Microsoft continues to support WoW64. It's the same reason that 16-bit applications eventually bit the dust. For many of those, it wasn't the lack of a GUI, or even the fact that they were 16-bit. It was that they were just too much trouble to get running on contemporary (then) operating systems. Microsoft is already making WoW64 optional (not pre-installed) on some of its server versions.
