For some reasons, there are lots and lots of 32-bit Java installations out there. I don't quite understand why.
Java.com detects the specific browser version and serves the version of Java based on that. Even with a 64-bit browser, Mozilla will still serve up the 32-bit version of Firefox by default for download. The 64-bit version is still considered "beta," though I've had 0 issues myself. I'm not sure about Chrome, but believe it is also based on the browser you use to access the download with, so again you get 32 with a 32-bit based browser, 64 if you have that installed. I'm not sure about Edge, but Explorer was always 32-bit. (I think Edge is a 64-bit browser, but haven't explicitly looked, either.)
Note: mistakenly stated Edge in my last post when I meant to mention Firefox, Chrome, and Explorer. I'm not sure what amount of Windows users have tried and stuck with Edge in Win10.
