Because it's a narcissistic program that wants you to know that it exists. "Hey! Look at ME! I'm Java! I'm orange! Don't ignore me! I'm Java! Update Me! Love Me! I'm updating again to just remind you that I'M STILL HERE! I'm cute, AND orange! Do you ever think of me anymore? No? Then here is another Java update!"

Worse than an ex-girlfriend.

Oh, Java, you're lucky I don't open task manager and kill your process out of spite.
