Well, at work we use windows and I have firefox installed. I went to try and install the new windows sp2 and who would have thought Microsoft requires me to use IE 5 or higher. HMMMMMMMMMMM

You can always manually download the updates from their updates page..
They aren't forcing anyone, just nicely suggesting.
Anyways, the reason is they use activex to check your system for what updates you have installed, which I have no problem with. (I do however have a problem when a pop up comes out of nowhere requesting activex permission, which is why I use firefox and only use IE for windows updates).
