Tyranitar is practically wearing a pupitar. Gengar gets a ton of elements back from Haunter. Metagross gets a lot of elements from Metang too.
Becoming more dragonic wouldn't really work much for GF's way of designing megas around a role (Manectric is built to spam VoltTurn, Absol is absolutely dedicated to Sucker Punch, etc)

A bug mega would only the best way to do the mega without resorting to just
>Oh just give it dragon dance and make it a worse Charizard-X/Salamence/Altaria mega nobody will want to waste their mega slot on Or
>Oh just give it quiver dance specifically now and revolve the entire mega concept around that, when that shit was a terrible idea for Heracross already
