Just because a kernel supports hardware from the future doesn't mean that there is an immediate need for doing so.
Plus Windows Phone, as in Microsoft, relies heavily on Snapdragon and Snapdragon hasn't revealed any plans for a 64 core SOC.
Then again there is a chip out there called Nvidia Tegra K1, there are two variants of it one is a 32 bit 4 core chip and the other one of the dual core 64 bit chip. Why am I mentioning it?
Because the Tegra K1 comes with a 192 core GPU, capable of rendering at upto 4K and with more power than a PlayStation 3.
Only downside? They don't give a flying **** about Windows Phone and are only optimizing the chip for Android. Sorry.

A 64 cores smartphone running in dc current to complement the cores.
Android doesn't sell on gimmicks. There are hundreds of other more logical reasons for why Android phones sell more, but in short they sell more because they can simply "do" more.
