Because Apple has already done so in the past for other product lines? Besides, newer iOS versions tend to require better hardware. There are several folks using older iPhone/iPod Touch models that wish they hadn't upgraded to newer firmware because it's made their devices extra sluggish. I reckon Apple would prefer users not to be able to upgrade rather than have them complain about performance issues with newer firmware.
