We do often see that modification, although it's more often as not a bit unsightly.
I see no particular problem with adding material to the bottom of a bridge other than the cosmetic appearance. As others have said, for those of us who comfortably make replica bridges, it's potentially as time-consuming as making a new bridge, especially if we need to work on the saddle slot as well.
Interestingly, Gibson made some new stock bridges that way during the dark days of the 1970s.
