It's more of a problem when it's incidental rather than using a tech lightning attacker in lost box for Lugia for example. Drapion exists thanks to the mechanic but that doesn't mean they couldn't have printed a Mew counter if weakness didn't exist.
There haven't been any Dragon cards in the first few Japanese SV sets, but it's likely they'll make a return at some point. The Magic analog is exactly what I was thinking of, they're different games sure and very few decks use multiple types of basic energy or basic energy at all but I don't see why they can't throw in a few more multicoloured cards since Dragon is pretty rare as is. They've even done it before on stuff like Mega Mewtwo Y EX.
Why is Galarian Moltres weak to grass when it's not even weak to bug? Sometimes it's just fucky like that.
