There are nothing in defining the size of the simple data types
that are tied to 32 bit architecture.

Why shoudl 8, 16, 32 and 64 bit integers be more 32 bit than
64 bit centric??

As far as I have seen all your so called mistakes is not problems
in the JLS but you not understanding the text, because you have
started reading the JLS without starting with a very basic tutorial
about Java.
