I'm curious about the specific reason, but assume the OP has it.

Bridges are meant as mitigation against the blocking of known Tor IP
addresses. Some nation-states, corporations and providers blocked Tor
exit IPs, since again, they are public. All public Tor IPs, including
non-exit relays, are also being blocked on occasion.  Bridge IPs are not
easy to enumerate, and therefore more difficult to block on the IP level.

So to use the same IP address for both a bridge and an exit makes no
(usual) sense.
