I always think of dark types being weak to bug types as a joke on how tough guy facades are broken if people catch them being scared by bugs.
Ghost types needed another weakness once Gen 1's broken, low-quality type chart was reworked, and Dark types were the most fitting. After all, what is a ghost gonna do to a flippant criminal? Spook them? Go get your grave pissed on, idiot ghosts.
