There are ways to do that...

Yes if you changed the /48, played with NAT, and/or added router services...
you could also interface onions end to end with clearnet and things
like CJDNS / Hyperboria if you wanted to.

Packet filters, tails, whonix, tor-ramdisk, etc do essentially this
all the time.

Then don't do those things.
They're user issues, not issues of whatever anonymous overlay.

This is because Tor only provides proxying and exit services at the
transit layer.  You can't route arbitrary IP packets over Tor, and
so you can't, for example, ping or traceroute over Tor.

Hidden services, for their part, don't even identify destinations with
IP addresses, so there's no prospect of using IP routing protocols to
describe routes to them.

There have been projects to try to make a router that would automatically
proxy all TCP traffic to send it through Tor by default.  (This would
require writing custom code, not just using existing routing tools, again
because Tor only operates at the TCP layer.)  I was excited about this
idea several years ago until the Tor maintainers reminded me that it would
expose lots of linkable traffic from applications that didn't realize
that they were supposed to remove linkable identifiers and behaviors.
For example, browsers that didn't realize they were running over Tor
would continue to send cookies from non-Tor sessions, and they would
continue to be highly fingerprintable.

And B Gates is known to spend millions in Africa. Because he is a
heterosexual male he must have a brothel and certainly has a brown skin
fetish. Sadly, medical research seems to be going in the same direction,
at least the popular magazine information.
