Because specific game rules for huge ships tell you to, and a s always, specific rules override general rules. When a huge ship is crippled, the Crippled Sections and Destruction rule says you discard all upgrades on the ship. Other game effects for an epic ship, such as critical hit cards for the raider, are explicitly telling you to disable an upgrade. For example, Deck Breach tells you to place an upgrade card under it, and you can't use the upgrade while the crit is face-up. Without these rules applying to them, small and large ships are not affected.

Or as the first line on Category: Huge Ships says:

"Huge Ships  function differently from regular ships in the  X-Wing Miniatures Game . "  ;)
