Why does Verizon force Android updates to be done over 3G instead of allowing wifi?

My son's Samsung Fascinate is finally getting its update to gingerbread but as with previous updates on Verizon, it automatically switches off wifi before starting the OTA download. The phone can still authenticate itself to Verizon's servers even over Wifi so why not let it use a faster connection? This is just ridiculous.
