If a sysext is meant for a certain version a lot of problems with people 
copying extensions from one installation to another can be prevented by 
requiring the correct TYPO3 version.

For a PHP version I can imagine that someday a new super-de-luxe version 
of a sysext is created which requires a very recent version of PHP, 
while the previous version is still shipped for older, still supported 
versions of PHP.
In that case it would be good to require the correct version.

I would like to see the possibility to check for PHP modules in an 
extension. EM could require PHP-soap, etc.
But that is just a personal opinion.
