It doesn't. Mine went just fine while upright. Perhaps there was once a fear of the wheel spinning up, or a worry that moving the motor at all during the update may cause issues somehow - however this now is redundant.

It depends on model. 

I believe it was interduced with KS16X. Probably to make sure the motor don't accidentally spin off. Since calibration data might not be correct or been reset, and that is why you need to recalibrate after a FW update.
