They keep a bunch of 32-bit libraries for backwards compatibility with older games that they launch. You can find numerous discussions about this in the Steam forums as well as on sites like Hackernews.

You just proved my point.
Runtime environment != the steam client.
Starting a 32 bit process (ie, process.start()) means nothing to the 32 bit steam client.
They can upgrade the steam client to 64 bit without affecting the launched games. that’s the point I was making.
They just haven’t.
