Yeah, the Fighting/Steel/Fairy works better because it doesn't involve an immunity. However, in order for Machop to work, they'd have to change its trade evolution into a level-based one, which Game Freak would almost certainly never do. Additionally, the relationships aren't as intuitive as Fire/Grass/Water. Maybe Gen VII could have the starters' final evolutions be Grass/Fairy, Water/Fighting, and Fire/Steel or some other combination that doesn't involve yet another Fire/Fighting starter.
