In other words, Windows built in formatting methods like Disk Management, File Explorer or DiskPart won't allow you to format 64GB SD card to FAT32.

Because the default Windows format option only allows the FAT32 partition on drives that are 32GB or less. The program allows you to format all-size SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards, and SDXC memory cards to FAT32 in Windows 11/10. It is usually due to that your partition is larger than 32GB. Some third party partition managers can convert MBR to GPT on data disks without data loss but you should still back up any data on the drive. If you want FAT32 on a 4TB drive which I do not recommend you need to first initialize the disk as GPT then partition and format as FAT32.
