Is there anything more pathetic than Over Power pokemons that you only have access to after the half / end of the game? Only edge lords venerate them

Nothing'll beat out all the not-OP Pokémon that evolve around level 89 in Gen V and beyond in patheticness (oh hai Route 3 Rufflet, I can't wait for you to not evolve until the postgame because you take forever to evolve).

Dragonite isn't unbalancing. The earliest you can get a Dratini is Celadon, and it takes forever to grind it to Level 50 where it can do some damage.
Nidoking is much more unbalancing, because you get it as a Level 16 third stage evolution at the start of Mt. Moon, it gets STAB EQ, learns boltbeam for coverage and is immune to Toxic. It plows through entire teams with a single move in Thrash.

Dragonite is probably the most balanced pseudo. It's shit til level 55. Until then its just a fake water type.

Garchomp is early game get though. It's one of its biggest pros.

What pisses me off is a lot of mons that are late game and also SUCK.

The only way to get a Dragonite in Gen I is to either grind out slots or to fish for a Pokemon that is never even mentioned or Seen up to that point in the Safari Zone, and then level it from 15-18 to 50. The only place to decently level it at before getting all 8 gym badges is Seafoam Islands which hosts some of the only Pokemon super-effective against this (compare this to leveling almost any other powerful endgame Poke, which is easily done in the Power Plant).

As a counterpoint, consider Rhydon. Rhyhorn is found plentifully in the Safari Zone and is one of the only pokes to learn Earthquake/Rock Slide, especially if you discount Golem. It also learns Horn Drill. It can be gotten at the same time as Dratini but you're almost guaranteed to find it blind, and you'll have encountered it before now from Giovanni in Rocket Hideout or Silph Co.
You can powerlevel it in the Power Plant 100% for free and it bodies Koga's Gym, especially if you're playing Yellow thanks to RS/EQ and Blaine's Gym, which means more free experience.
Rhydon is way less "balanced" than Dragonite who can learn no STAB moves (not even Fly) and whose best setups are as a Paralysis carrier with some TM attacks.

Alakazam requires trading though, so for some players its just unobtainable. Also, catching Abra at the earliest point its available is pretty difficult especially if you're playing Red and don't have access to Butterfree, you'll have to rely on an Oddish or go get a Drowzee and come back.

How is it unbalanced if one of the elite 4 uses it against you?
