Well, the majority of all Windows applications available are still 32-bit (if you consider legacy applications that are no longer developed as well), so if you want to have maximum Wine compatibility, you need the 32-bit libraries as well.
I did not mean to hijack the thread. I see that my 32bit rpm mystery is slightly different than the the original question. I just did not know that at the start... We develop both Linux (openSUSE) and Windows software. FYI, it's a high speed data collection system that is openSUSE based. (Not a sales blurb, but just to show some interesting things being done with openSUSE: https://rst.ramboll.com/matning/?sc_lang=en). Because of the fantastic availability in OBS of Windows builds of many packages, building on openSUSE our software for Windows works fantastic. It's all in the same Makefiles for all platforms. We only build 64-bit software. The only reason I have wine installed at all is that it is sometimes handy to verify a Windows build immediately. Wine allows this. I do not need the 32-bit version of wine. It would be nice if there was a direct way to remove it. -- Roger Oberholtzer
