curl is used to download files… if it is missing, Windows presumably won’t be able to download something. If they just go for it anyway, the system could end up in some undefined state.

I doubt curl is involved in the windows update process itself (seeing as Windows Update is a lot older than the inclusion of curl in Windows)
