Poison should've been super effective against steel.
You forgot that it only resists itself, grass, and fighting as well. While resisting fighting is really nice (or at least used to be, not sure if fighting is still highly used after the Dream World shenanigans), that effective/resistance spread is horrid. Especially when you consider that it's weak to Ground, quite possibly the most used attack type, and Psychic, another highly used attack type.
