Bynum is averaging 11/10/2. That's two blocks not 3 (2 is still very good, not saying it isn't). Howard is averaging 23.6/15/2.6
Yes Howard plays more mins, but he is far ahead of Bynum on practically all aspects of the game. He is nowhere near a good an athlete as Howard, nor is he as physical or just plain strong. They're both around the same age, Bynum hasn't a chance of catching up to Howard. Howard is looking to dominate at the C position for years to come while Bynum is spot starting for a Lakers team with no frontcourt.
Howard is light years ahead of him.
Don't even get me started!

Firstly with Kobe in the Lakers team most of the teams offense will be channelled through him whereas Howard is Orlando's go to guy so points scored is a stat that can be misleading.
secondly Bynum is 2 years younger than Howard and is also averaging 12 minutes per game less, so the stats you quoted of 11-10 compare well to howards 23-15. Consider also that Bynum is a better free throw shooter although not by much and commits less turnovers though the minutes may be a factor in that.
Also Bynum has drastically improved his inside game and if he starts to dunk as much Howard instead of going for the lay-up he will only get better. Bynum is also taller and heavier than Howard.
Give it time. I am not saying Bynum will definitely overtake Howard but the potential is clearly there.
