Your statement seemed to imply wasted capacity.
It is, but not for reading email or web serving which you allude.
I don't recall ever making any mention of reading email, but naturally that and other desktop activities are at least as good on linux32 as on linux64, and that's no surprise to anyone. What I did think worthy of note was that the web server performance ceiling on common 64-bit hardware is not measurably different between linux32 and linux64. I would go so far as to agree that on high end hardware (16 CPUs, 64 GB RAM) linux64 would scale better than linux32, but the hardware you see in 98% of the business scenarios today is just not that extreme.
