ELI5 Why technology is still stuck on 64bits?

The important number isn't the number of bits, but the number of numbers you can make with those bits.

With 32 bits, you can make around 4 billion numbers. If you were giving out a 32 bit ID to each person, you would not even have enough for each person in the world.

64 bits on the other hand gives you 16 billion billion numbers. If you were giving out a 64 bit ID to each person, you would have so many IDs that you could ID every second of every person's life.
