Why are some CPUs better at video editing while others are better for gaming?

With the new WWDC coming out, Apple boasts about its performance using applications like video editing, encoding, etc. However, I keep hearing that despite the “power” it has, macs are not good for gaming (I know the Apple silicon processors aren’t just a CPU but my point still stands).

Why is this the case? Even with CPUs, I see that some are marketed as doing different things, like the AMD Ryzen X3D line for gaming, versus others that are better for productivity tasks. Shouldn’t a good CPU be able to do both things? What makes them different?

Can I add on to this question? Can someone re-explain 32-bit versus 64-bit operating systems? I think that’s somehow involved with the max RAM usable by a single application, or number of processors? And I know applications can be designed to run on 32 or 64 bit.
