I don't understand why the GDAL Python bindings are not made available on the python path by the gdal-python
They should be available if you work from within OSGeo4W shell (OSGeo4W.bat, which calls bin\o4w_env.bat and etc\ini\*.bat). If you don't use the o4w shell then you need to create the environment in some other way, as Alex does.
As to why: o4w consciously strives to be self contained and not interfere with existing windows programs or registry settings. It allows side-by-side installs with things like ArcGIS and running from a dvd or usb device.
That said I think it would be helpful to have an optional package to provide integration for those that want osgeo4w python, and other packages, to be the system default.
