Dragons were deliberately overpowered since gen 1 since it was designed to be a 'legendary' type. As more and more gens piled dragons on, a lot of them not even psuedo legendary any more the need for the type to actually be balanced out became apparent.
I mean the fact that the only type that resists Dragon was Steel while Dragons resist all 4 of the major elemental types should've been a pretty fucking big tip off that it was imbalanced, right?
