You must be lost. Siri existed on iPhone 4 and many people used it. Apple bought out the company and removed it from 4 with the intentions of using it to push 4S. So, no. You wouldn't need to have a large sense of entitlement for having an app you use daily taken away for the purpose of getting you to upgrade.
