Why?

Intrinsically, they seem to be roughly on the same order of magnitude of
difficulty.

For a decapsulator, you crack the outer header, lookup, accept, crack the
inner header, lookup and forward.

For a translator, you crack the outer header, lookup, rewrite, and forward.

Seems not too different...
