You're presuming an ideal scenario instead of a realistic one. There have never been enough gyms to cover every type, so there's no reason the captains would be different. You'll be lucky if we get two captains and a Kahuna per island, bringing us to 12 total. Between 16 captains and kahunas, Team Skull, possibly Aether Foundation and the elite four, that is a metric fuckton of individualized "boss" characters; at least double what any other Pokemon game has featured. Why would you default your expectations to that?
