Voice commands have existed for a long time, but they have required a lot of time and effort (i.e. money) to implement. Kinect changes this, because it handles much of the voice recognition with its own hardware, meaning developers don't have to struggle to implement it.
If BioWare were to bring the voice commands to other platforms, they would have to implement their own system from the ground up, which would be very expensive. But on the 360, it's easy to do through Kinect. Hence why it's there and not on the other platforms.
