They had been working on carbon64 which WAS supported by the likes of Adobe and probably others and then at the last minute Apple decided to only support cocoa, leaving the companies to change much of the code in their apps. So while you may love your beloved Apple, as I do as well, this was squarely on Apple's shoulders not the Adobe, Autodesk manufacturers. It's not an issue of laziness. And while I would like 64 bit apps I'd rather them take the time they need to do it right.

Most devolopers don't know it well, or don't want to be bothered with coding in it. Snow leopard is bringing back what they had originally said and more devs will beable to to code 64bit mac programs. So while leopard is a "64 bit os" no one wants to go 64 with their code.
