Maybe it's a combination of both ideas. Maybe the Royal family changed the principle of Firebending not only to fuel there war machine, but also to help restrict the use of powerful bending like the genration of lighting, this would keep potienatail threats down, so fewer people could challenge them. By making fire bending about rage and passion, they made ti harder for other fire benders to use lighting.
