Various reasons. Mostly because they can or the updates build upon each other.

I've read rumors about 2.80 containing some updates for vidzone, maybe thats why you had to update your firmware. Still waiting for vidzone to come out in Sweden.

The same here - I was pushed to update my second PS3 (80 GB EU model) to 2.80 yesterday evening after VidZone update - so it IS (semi)mandatory now ...

My first (60 GB EU Model) was updated already for a while as I'm using the Text Chat a lot and it was improved considerably with 2.80 ...
