I always figured Steel and Dark were added just because Rock and Ghost weren't doing their jobs.

In Gen 1, Ghost was actually nerfed in a way that made Psychic even more broken. Due to a programming error, Psychic was actually immune to Ghost moves instead of weak to them, so that made their only weakness Bug, and there were only 3 attacking Bug moves in that gen. So they tried to nerf Psychic by adding a type immune to it, which helped out some though not in Kanto games as there aren't any Pokemon who were given the dark typing.
