Since Darkness/Metal we’re only on their second generation of Pokémon, and Lightning and Fire were both composed of only a single type, there weren’t as many options. There were Delta Species of other types, but those ones made up a higher amount. So really more than anything, just view it as the Holon bullshit changing the attack type.
