Why is it not “Win64”?
The 64bit version is the same API compiled for 64bit instead of 32bit.
IIRC Win32 API first appeared 30 years ago and the name stuck as it differentiated it from other APIs. Now there are no new 32bit Windows versions on sale the name quietly changed in MS docs to Windows API.
If you say Win32 to people who develop for Windows then they know what you mean.
