Vista x64: which version of SQL engine

I have VP8 installed under both XP (x86) and Vista (x64); running fine but the SQL server that came with the new Media Manager 2.3 installed the 32bit version automaticalyy under Vista x64; why is that? Did anyone manage to install the 64bit version?

AMD TR 2990WX CPU | MSI X399 CARBON AC | 64GB RAM@XMP2933  | 2x RTX 2080Ti GPU | 4x 3TB WD Black RAID0 media drive | 3x 1TB NVMe RAID0 cache drive | SSD SATA system drive | AX1600i PSU | Decklink 12G Extreme | Samsung UHD reference monitor (calibrated)

I would go for the reason as follows:

By just including the 32bit version it caters for both 32 and 64 clients, with a smaller file size, and a simple 1-for-all option.

Once the apps themselves run native 64, then I hope they do package the rest in 64native too. You're not going to see any benefit from going to 64 version of SQL particularly for the media manager stuff. But as I say, once 64bit on apps - then it'll be nice to see it expand onto everything else.
