That wouldn't make him OP at all if his abilities were Semblance related. If he turned to stone just by coming into contact with it, then how exactly would Blaze fair in the rain? An umbrella doesn't keep you completely safe and his clothes would take in some moisture. If water really were his weakness, he wouldn't have survived long as its essential for everyday life (drinking it, sweating it out, bathing with it).

You can have more than one standard weakness and not all of them have to be related to an element. Someone could excess in strength but might not be completely quick in battle for a stat related weakness. Or it could be a psychological thing relating to someone's past, like the person gets stone stiff upon seeing a gun due to some tradgic event revolving around one.

Also I'll say it again, people aren't born with natural elemental properties. As far as we've seen in canon, the only way to conjure Fire in anyway is through the usage of Dust or a Semblance. At this point in time until an episode proves another way to do so, his powers are better off being explained as Dust usage or a Semblance.
