Well, some tools from the operating system use numpy and other python modules. And upgrading one of these modules might conceivably break that dependency, leading to breakage in the OS. So Apple's design goal is to keep their tools working right, and absent any clear standard for package management in python that allows for side-by-side installation of different versions of the same module, this is probably the best way to go from their perspective. Personally, I just install a hand-built python in /Frameworks. This is very easy, and it is also where the python.org python goes, so 3rd- party installers with hard-coded paths (boo) still work.
