in practice it might well be: if your CPU only has instructions for
single precision math, then using double precision (while technically
possible) might have dysmal performance, making a double-precision Pd
unusable on these platforms.
(we had a similar problem with 1st generation handheld devices, such
as PDAs, that would only have fixed point arithmetics. in order to
actually run Pd on those devices we needed PDa, a fixed-point fork of Pd)
