Gateway's firmware updated on 2/20 around 1:30 AM in NY right after I turned off my pc <- weird?

So my Gateway router was updated to 02.00.01.07 on 2/20 around 1:30 AM. The thing is not only it was late (I saw forum posts saying theirs were updated on 2/13 in NY), it happened right after I turned off my pc. Like as soon as I hit the power off button the router was updated and restarted.

Is this weird? Does Fios firmware updates check if a device is connected to the router before updating in order to avoid interrupting the internet connection?

Another thing is on that day I turned on the router as I turned on my pc because sometimes I turn off my router. Shouldn't it have been automatically updated as it was booted?

Thanks

There were post here on this forum and on DSL Reports that stated your router would be done by the 20th. So it was not late.

I believe Verizon like cable internet update in the evening or late evenings so that would seem about right.
