If it had "nothing to do with that", as you claim, and potential buyers were indifferent about it (spoiler-they're not), I guess the Apollo Team wouldn't bother spear-heading their marketing campaign with it.

As Promilus said -- it's just how marketing is done.
They
badly want their AMMX/64-bit to be used massively, they're proud of these things, but in reality they don't count.
I wouldn't be surprised if this even has pushed potential customers away.
