I read that, by convention, the Program Files folder is for 64 bit applications and the Program Files (x86) folder is for 32 bit folders. I understand that it doesn't really matter which folder the program is installed in, but usually 64 bit applications are installed in the first and 32 bit applications in the latter.
Why are certain 64 bit applications installed by default on the Program Files (x86) folder?
Examples include Overwatch, Steam, Nvidia, Overworlf, Mendeley, Arduino, Battle.net.
