That sounds like "it is this way because it is not the other way
around".
So, yes, git-status updates the index because it's an index-updating
operation, while git-diff does not update the index because it's a
non-index-updating operation.
Then, I'll rephrase my sentence as "*why* is git-status an
index-updating operation while git-diff is not". But you'll probably
find another way to avoid answering.
