I think the issue is, are there any technical issues that do not make it
easy to have 64-bit LibreOffice packages on Windows?

There are some technical issues, and Firefox is also distributed as a
32-bit package as well (Though you can look and find a 64-bit packages in
the nightly builds, so power users are happy),

As described at the link above, it's good to figure out with numbers
whether there are cases that a 64-bit LibreOffice has actual benefits (big
document, etc). Having a 64-bit LibreOffice for Windows will help retain
some power users.
