No, dipshit, the entire head portion is arranged like a flower. If the petals were just strewn about it body with no reference to a plant, it would be like Decidueye.
There are lots of heavy animals with relatively small legs. Physiques aren't that simple. And the difference is that limbs are largely integral to movement, whereas the bow is an extraneous feature. If you can't bother doing it right, don't do it at all. No person with an ounce of taste defends Dragonite.
That is how it works. Pulling a bow requires lots of strength, and both of its previous forms focus on throwing leaves like knives. It's only the third form that changes its technique into an impractical mess.
It's not that it doesn't need to, it's that it can't, which makes it impractical compared to throwing. Just another reason why it's pointless.
