The processor on your Raspberry Pi 4 (and the like) are 64-bit devices but they're reporting as 32-bit devices because you're running a 32-bit operating system.
Raspberry Pi does make both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Raspberry Pi OS, however the 64-bit version is in beta.
The 64-bit version of Raspberry Pi OS lacks hardware acceleration for popular apps (such as Chromium and VLC). For this reason the default OS is the 32-bit version.
