They don't want to worry about your "reg cleaner" and ask.com toolbar suddenly taking 100% of the CPU and screwing up the firmware write.
Heck, BIOS updates are done the same way, pretty much. The Windows installer shoves the new firmware binary into a space the BIOS can access, reboots the computer, updates during POST/BIOS, and then only when its successful, reboots again into Windows. Its not run when Windows is running. You'd have to be a little crazy to do that.
