Bridges can have more than one lower interface, unlike VLAN (8021q) interfaces.
The lower interfaces of a bridge will forward packets between each other
according to the destination MAC address (optionally + VLAN ID), which is
something VLANs don't do.

I don't believe that a bridge with a single lower interface (port), as in
your example, is exactly "intended use".
