That's not the case. The official binaries for NumPy and SciPy are on SourceForge. The Windows installers on PyPI are there to make easy_install work, but they're likely slower than the SF installers (no SSE2/SSE3 instructions).

Is there a reason why the same binaries can't be used for both?

The SF .exe superpack installers contains three installers: plain, SSE2 and SSE3 support. easy_install doesn't know what to do with such an installer. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.numeric.general/29395/focus=29582 for the discussion on why things are as they are now.
