I think that adding "layer" to every bridge instead of the river alone is a wasteful and inefficient approach (takes more time and uses more database space). IMHO these are much more objective arguments than simply calling something you disagree with "laziness".
What's wrong with "removing layer=-1" in these cases: it may actually be semantically correct (as it is in my city: Porto Alegre). All bridges have been mapped with layer=0 and the river beneath them with layer=-1. Not a single bridge is missing. (This was checked before adding the layer tags.)
