Isn't the reason fairy types are weak to steel due to the Fae folk being weak to cold iron in fairy tales?

psychics cause a reaction to the poisen types glands/antibodies which hurt them more.
Bugs emit usually harmless enyzmes when fighting, but the like with poison, psychics trigger a reaction.
dark type are supposed to resemble emos, and bullies usually pick on them
Fairies are allergic to iron iirc

In modern usage the term has been most associated with folkloric beliefs that iron forged over a cold anvil could ward off ghosts, fairies, witches, and/or other allegedly malevolent supernatural creatures.
