There should be nothing wrong with a 64 bit program launching a 32 bit program. If anything, it sounds like Valve is using that as some sort of "comparability insurance"; if you can run steam, you can run almost all games on steam.

MacOS stopped supporting 32-bit with Catalina and, according to appleinsider.com, older games won't work on Catalina at all.

That must be on MacOS programmers. See WOW64.
