I think it is just fun. Vultures being scavengers, having a feast at a wake for the recently deceased.

If zoologists or whoever say "we decided to call their group a wake because, why not, it's fun" I get it and I am on board for that

A group of vultures is called a committee, venue or volt. In flight, a group of vultures is a kettle and when feeding at a carcass, the group is referred to as a wake.
