why is it only for people who are here for atleast for 6 months or 50+ karma ?

Could you just change it to everyone ?

Because it rewards people who are actively engaged in the HN community and contributing something, rather than someone reading this today, then signing up to HN and claiming the offer

Hint: sometimes a private email or even just asking nicely goes a long way ;)
