Actually, there was. There is hardware built into the 4S chipset that is specifically for noise-cancelling background noise. Siri would technically work on iPhone 4 but it won't work well (as people who have Jailbroken their iPhone 4's and used Siri can testify). The hardware doesn't meet Apple's requirements for the service. They could have put it on the device but Apple errs on the side of caution and would rather not have a feature on a device than have one that works poorly. It's not a perfect scenario but I understand their decision, though it kinda sucks for iPhone 4 owners.
