We are (almost) all volunteers, Joseph. It's irritating that this claim
is repeatedly rolled out as an excuse.
I'm increasingly disappointed my *voluntary* contributions to the OSM
database are are not being fairly or accurately being represented by
OSM-Carto due to errors in the programming. It's ridiculous these errors
(many of the 400 open issues) can't be fixed "for many years".
Is OSM-Carto fit to be promoted as OSM's flagship, de-facto rendering?
Please get back to me when OSM-Carto has a valid reason for not
rendering disused bridges.

DaveF, reloading the database could be done more often, but it does
take time and server resources, and everyone is a volunteer. People
can help by donating money to the OSMF to help run the servers, or
donating time to help improve the openstreetmap.org website
infrastructure.
At Openstreetmap-carto there are over 400 open issues
(https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues), and a
particular request is more likely to happen if a contributor
volunteers to do the work. In this case the first step would be to
decide which tags under `emergency=` should be treated as polygons
when mapped as closed ways, and then submitting a PR (pull request) to
add these for the next database reload, which might happen soon, if
enough people are interested in making it happen.

If this is about Openstreetmap-carto, there is now an open issue:
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/3968 - note
that rendering area features in the "emergency=" key, like this, would
require reloading the database on the openstreetmap.org servers.
it wasn't about rendering really, it was just the illogical use of keys
making it more awkward for all database users.
I gave up on referring to anything relating to OSM-carto issues for
precisely the reason you highlight - to render
emergency=ambulance_station It requires a database reload which is only
performed "*every few years*". #Ridiculous
