I can see how this makes rendering easier, but OSM isn't mainly a database for rendering. I don't see why a river that serves as an admin boundary should even have a boundary=administrative tag; including it in the relevant relation should be enough. Also when the admin_level of an area changes (due to either a political change or a change of mind in the OSM community about what should be which admin level in the particular country), I don't want to force mappers to change the tagging of all affected ways. On the whole, the openstreetmap-carto team usually has a positive influence on tagging in OSM and provides the occasional nudge for mappers to standardise something. In this particular case, I would say this is an undue request, and the change in tagging would be for the worse.
