Allen,
I don't see what you're referring to re: "syswow64 having" - If it wasn't clear or correct, I'll update it.

As for the name, it's the system folder for wow64 - Windows running on Windows64. "Windows" implies x86. From a software engineering perspective, the name makes sense, but so would creating System64 for x64 components. That probably would have broken too much legacy crap.
