I think it's just because Apple cares about their customers so much, and they're trying to protect us from ourselves. Maybe running Siri on older hardware has some serious performance issues and Apple doesn't want customers to go through that or have to support customers doing that. Remember, Apple doesn't have to support jail broken phones. If it were only about the money then Apple wouldn't even support IOS 5 and in iPhone 3's in the first place, e.g. Android pones. Come guys, have another cup of Apple Kool-Ade!
Sorry, that was said with tongue in cheek, but there may be legitimate reasons why Apple doesn't support Siri on older phones. It may be about the money, but that's why Apple's selling iPhones in the first place though, so there's nothing really wrong with that either.
