You’re right about clearnet websites often blocking Tor exit nodes. Not a problem for .onion sites obviously.

But you should read the details of how bridges work. Despite your claim, no the packet traffic does not reveal that you are using Tor. Even if your ISP/government is watching the wire.

If your government knows that the IP belongs to a Tor bridge - how do they not know you connected to a Tor bridge?

  You should read the Snowflake docs
  
  There are over 100,000 people providing access from their personal IP address. Even the US government would have a very hard time keeping track.

    Snowflakes are different than bridges
    
    Similar concept but Snowflakes are harder to block

    Snowflake is a pluggable transport into the bridge system. But thank you for splaining
