Linux can do all sorts of things and you can still interact with the bridge member interfaces as well as the bridge virtual interface as far as I can tell, I just tested adding an IP and pinging a bridge member interface and it seemed to work. Linux packet forwarding, even before we get to OpenVSwitch, is complicated.

I have no doubt you can do complicated things. I don't think you have to in such a relatively simple use case.

On the other hand I never found the bridge configuration super intuitive so I guess it's easy enough to make things artificially complicated by mistake.
