This isn't a design flaw -- Apple expects you to use Siri to respond to texts, calls, etc., without unlocking the device, possibly while driving; cf. the recent commercial of a jogging man asking Siri, "Read me that last text." To bury this feature would probably make it inaccessible to a large swath of device users.
