I don't see why private IP's in a trace route is necessarily wrong... Many large providers are numbering their hops with private IP space and routing public space across it because they don't want to waste /30's of public space for each point to point. Yes, /31 is an option, but there were a lot of edge cases or network gear that didn't support it.

Yes, you are absolutely right that IPv4 addresses are scarce. Which bring a related question - what's up with none of AWS/Azure/GCE supporting IPv6?

  Unfortunately IPv6 in cloud deployments is still very much lacking. OpenStack is one of those where IPv6 has only recently become something that is being built into OpenStack.
