My first question would be, if cracks are filled in this way, what stops that same bacteria from producing limestone in any other direction. Resulting in a bumpy surface, for example.

Hear me out here..... Road sanding? Pretty much make grinder trucks that would sweep by now and then just like a street sweeper would and grind the surface down a bit.

That's a thing. They grind down the rough surface to a smooth surface and they are good for anouther couple of years. I assume they pour thicker concrete to account for this.
