Those apps may be using the non standard non certified bigTIFF 64 bit variant.
It's not a certified spec and does not have a unique file extension.
Adobe does not get to define the spec or certify it.
Allowing the files to be saved as a .tiff in 64 bit vs the certified standard 32 bit would be an extremely bad and horrific decision.
It'd be like if Shell formulated a new gas that only 1% of internal combustion engines can use but put it on the market as Regular Unleaded.
There are agreed to standards that the industry complies with for a reason.
