Here's the problem with this whole train of thought: it's based on pure assumption. Until it's outright confirmed then it won't be changed. And the 'it's so obvious'-type attitude isn't helping.

And before the appearance and release command are brought up, let me use a confirmed fire-type Zanpakuto as a counter: Tobiume looks like a tree branch and has the release command 'Snap', yet its ability involves shooting fireballs, rather than anything tree-related. Basing its typing strictly on its appearance and command would be misleading. If Engetsu is confirmed to be fire-type in the future then it will be changed accordingly. Until that happens then it will remain as is.
