From what I understand, lightning occurs when frozen water particles in a cloud bump into each other, building up electrical charges. Therefore, wouldn't it make more sense for waterbenders to be able to create lightning strikes? Obviously they gave the firebenders this ability because they are the villains of the show for the most part and they needed a frightening ability to keep tension high, but if it was "logical", then the waterbenders should have this ability, right? If we go even further, only the avatar should be able to create lightning strikes using a combination of airbending and waterbending.

Why is it firebenders who can generate lightning and not waterbenders?
