IME, costs for private backhaul circuits of any flavor are significantly
higher than costs for plain internet access - so backhauling internet
access (unless you have extremely restrictive access policies that you can
actually enforce) through your WAN would/should cost through the nose.
Routing only WAN traffic through the WAN reduces the size/scope/impact on
those more expensive circuits. Probably at the expense of additional
complexity, of course.
