That is not the reason Apple didn't provide true background application support in iOS 2 & 3. It was a battery driven initiative by designing the push notification system over letting apps manage their own background runloop.
Plus iOS 5 introduced background support with location that did keep the GPS active and did drain the battery. Foursquare enabled it as a feature called "Radar" that was short lived due to the drain.
