That's because we got used to the "classic" file replacement Updates. Updates contained changed files and we pretty much needed just to install the Update were Update just replaced old files with updated ones.

From your words, this Update is actually a Patcher update.
It Patches the original files and to do that, it needs to back up the original ones so that, if there is a f*ck-up in the patching, it can easily revert the changes back to the original version in case of corrupted installation due to internet mess-ups.

I don't know if @NamelessOne will update the installer to support further updates but it would be nice if someone can make new conversion with proper reg entries in case OP does not do it...
