Why is it not in admin? Merely because it's called build-aux/update-copyright in Gnulib. We can easily move it somewhere else in Emacs, if you like; just name your favorite location. It is a bit confusing to have two different scripts admin/update-copyright (Emacs-specific) and build-aux/update-copyright (Gnulib generic).
