It's literally just a dragon, there's no reason it couldn't be fire/dragon. There's like 10 other dragon/(other type that's not flying)s out there that have wings and learn fly.

It was never a literal dragon, but a lizard that looks like one

It was for "balance" purposes in gen 1. A fire/dragon charizard wouldn't be weak to blastoise's water and thus ruin the type triangle. Granted they threw that out the door in gen 4, but at the time it was likely the reasoning.

If only there was a word for a lizard that looked like a dragon. Oh wait, there is, it's called a DRAGON.

Dragon was really, really special in Gen 1. It was the mythical, legendary type that only one evo line had, and that evo line was the strongest in the game. Dragonite’s specialness would have been taken away if Charizard also got Dragon. Same reason why Gyarados and Aerodactyl didn’t, when they most surely would have if introduced now. It was stupid, and rendered moot as soon as Gen II arrived. But that’s the reason.

Times change, and now with Fairy is more common to see Dragon. Charizard don't get the type today just because is a starter.

kingdra was an experiment to see what would happen if a dragon was neutral to ice instead of being 4x weak to it
data was inconclusive
but yeah after that it became less and less special every gen
