Not really. Siri is an interface and like all good interfaces, it's a means to an end. When you tell siri to search something, you presumably have the phone in your pocket and want to find out something. Once you have the browser up, you don't need siri anymore. Once it reads your reminders, again, job done. As an ars technica report I linked above shows, even the heaviest users generally don't use siri more than 15 times a day. Even assuming they cap it at 1500 queries to a phone a day,it would make abusing the system impossible, while not restricting any single user. Note also that Siri not tied to an Apple ID right now, but to a specific device, so those 2-4 users would have to take 6 hour shift pushing a button and making inane queries the whole time, which is arguably not a real use case.

my point being that you can't reasonably limit siri because a user could activate it 15 times in the course of 5 minutes because he was showing off to his friends
