Well, you seem to not understand routing :). If you change the default gateway trought the tunnel, then how will OpenVPN communicate with its peer???
This is when you set a route to the public IP of the host that the other end point of the tunnel via your upstream gateway. This way your router has a route to get to the endpoint of the tunnel as well as a default route via the tunnel.
