While you can install a 32-bit app on Windows 11, which is 64-bit only, you’ll have to run it through the operating system’s compatibility features. This means you’ll likely encounter issues, especially as games are more complicated than the average app.

This makes zero sense.

Welcome to tech journalism.

Well, actually it's all journalism, you only notice it in tech because you know more than the author. It's called Gell-Mann Amnesia: https://www.epsilontheory.com/gell-mann-amnesia/
