Why is everything installing in 32 bit?

[QuestionableUsername]

Title. I have a new beast computer with a 64 bit OS, although I have everything 32 bit for some odd reason (skype, league client, java, etc.) It's recommended at 32 bit, and I don't think I can change it.

If you want the 64-bit versions of those clients you need to go to their respective websites and download and install the 64-bit version yourself.

It's just easier to distribute the 32-bit version by default because it will work with both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows.

Are the 32 bit versions bad/what benefit will I get from 64 bit things?

For most programs you won't notice a difference between the two.
