Why is it not “Win64”?

 
The 64bit version is the same API compiled for 64bit instead of 32bit.

That’s the trouble. It hasn’t really adapted to the availability as
standard of 64-bit integers, for example.

Compare the POSIX APIs, where they were careful to use generic types like
“size_t” and “time_t”, so that the same code could be compiled, unchanged,
to work on both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. Not something Windows
code can manage.
