First of all, lightning bending should only be an air bending trait. Which is why I believe they don't even call it lightning bending, it's just fire bending making psuedo "lightning". Lightning only generates NATURALLY in thunderstorms - not in flaming pits or volcanoes. Lightning is friction ... friction is air. I'm disappointed that the writers even tried to give firebenders such a trait, but it makes sense that air benders wouldn't want to learn lightning bending, since they're pacifists.
