Why is kloader needed with 32-bit devices and not 64-bit devices? #330

Just like the title says, I'm curious as to why 32-bit devices need to by put into kDFU mode with kloader when using futurerestore, and 64-bit devices don't? What is the main difference of using the "Odysseus method" over just using futurerestore without it? At one point I always thought that Odysseus was for 32-bit devices and futurerestore was for 64-bit devices. But now I see that futurerestore has Odysseus support for both 32-bit AND 64-bit devices. What's the purpose?
