I believe Steel also represents clarity. Lucario's typing and some of the light based Steel moves should support that idea. Steel is too "clear" to be tainted by Poison. Also, a lot of Steel-type Pokémon are robots or robot-like, which means they probably have no blood, no blood for Poison to course through.
The Dragon-beats-Dragon thing also happens in Monster Hunter (Deviljho, which uses a Dragon-type breath, is weakest against Dragon). The sheer power of dragons can only be countered by itself... or Ice. It's a fight-fire-with-fire kind of thing. Ironically the same cannot be said about the Fire-type.
