Because 9.3.6 fixes an issue with the software that interacts with the GPS hardware in the cellular models.

About iOS 9 Updates - Apple Support

iOS 9.3.6 addresses an issue that could impact GPS location performance and could cause system date and time to be incorrect. This update is recommended for all users.


The Wifi only model does not have this issue, since it does not have this hardware. So it does not require the update.
