In short: the gc is tuned for typical usage. If your usage of python is specific, use gc.setthreshold and increase its values.
It's fine for people "in the know" who take the time to test their code using various gc parameters. But most people don't (I know I never did, and until recently I didn't even know the gc could have such a disastrous effect on performance).
I don't think expecting people to tweak gc parameters when they witness performance problems is reasonable.
