because while watching the show it looks like what you actually need to bend lighting is a menatl state anbabling you to kill someome in cold blood without remorse or hesitation
this is further reinfoirced by ligthing being the purest form of destrtuctive firebending and in normal firebending already if you are afraid of what you might do the fire will rebel against you
that's why in the series people who are able to bend lighting are:
Ozai - a psychopath
Azula - sociopath / crazy person
Iroh - a fnatic dedicated to his cause
Zuko is non of those and for him hurrting peopel is something to you do to achive a goal and even as it is a nessesity to do what he percives as the right thing he still have planty of moral dilemmas as he ultiamtely wants to protect people not hurt them
he is too good of a person to actualy be able to master that technique and what he got isntead of burst damage of ligthing was a huge manal pool of being a good hearted firebender and connecting with the fire as a source of life
and then came comics and korra and ruined his character alongside the rest of the main cast
