Because the address of the router in a traceroute then might be private
address space one. I sort of like the idea that you know where in the
world you are when you do a traceroute.
If the interface has a hidden IP# that you can send packets to, but it
still will present itself as (for instance) the ethernet interface, you
just give the ethernet interface a "normal" IP# and all looks normal and
the router only takes up one IP# (not counting RFC1918 address space).
This way you can still ping the interface on 10.0.0.1 .
