You need wifi or a computer that ideally has Ethernet, as indicated in this document: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Apple doesn't say why but probaby because software updates are very large files and many people's data plans wouldn't allow it. Data connections can also be unreliable and your update might be corrupted and you'd have to download it again.
