--- Comment #7 from Justin Uberti <juberti at google.com> ---
I considered the private IP heuristic, but this is complicated by mDNS, and some carriers may not assign public IPs (e.g. NAT64).

The main thing we would want to avoid here is sending a high data rate stream on a metered connection, since you could burn through your entire data plan quickly at 40 Mbps. Tethering is as you mention something that this API would not cover, but that is an edge case, and one could argue that people using tethering are largely aware of the risks.
