1. It isn't necessary considering the small size of the executable code compared to the resources used.
2. Such a choice reduces the user experience. Fat binaries allow for the user to never have to know what architecture their computer is.


There will always be users that choose the wrong one or developers that punish the user harshly for choosing the wrong one.

If there was a place to decide what architectures you want to install then Installer.app would be it. So why given the increasing popularity of laptops with small drives doesn't apple incorporate the ability to choose installation architectures for any package in their Installer app?
