It is not easier, masquerading and NAT is easy.

The remote end is also private. This is what my att aircard looks like:
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:10.81.207.178 P-t-P:10.64.64.64 Mask:255.255.255.255
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:516897 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:510907 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:3
RX bytes:397705487 (397.7 MB) TX bytes:71344679 (71.3 MB)
If I traceroute to a public address, it has 8 hops with private addresses.
