For direction of the benches mapped as ways I would use analogous*
rule to cliffs and retaining walls, that is: If you hold the bench
with left hand (from the sitting side) you are looking in the same
direction as the way. In other words backrest on left side of the way,
sitting side on right side of the way.

As there are a lot of benches without a backrest, I would not introduce
a default value here, as there's always a "need" for backrest=*. Your
proposed default would reduce backrest=left|right|middle|none to
backrest=yes for the default value, but you could not rely on that.
There's no benefit as we don't need less tags, and it's less valuable as
backrest=yes without that "default" would work as a fallback (there's a
backrest, but I don't know, on which side).
That's the difference to the retaining walls: a retaining wall is
retaining something from moving to the other side - that's what defines
it as a RETAINING wall.
