You forget people developing proprietary software... or even just 
multilib apps. Multilib is useful if you want to build the 32-bit 
version of something on an x86_64 box (and don't want to set up a full 
chroot / VM).

(Doubly so for proprietary stuff that may need to build both 32- and 
64-bit in the same build tree.)
