Title. Both Flamers and Bombers clearly deal most of their damage by submerging the players in fire. Keeping the damage resistance perks that can deal with them as their own separate perks only means that they are simply not an option to take. Merging them into one perk that reduces the damage against both flamers and bombers still wouldn’t create an overpowered perk, but one that I might actually consider putting on my trinkets for specific builds.

Honestly those perks are practically useless, since they don’t provide resistance against the important part: fire stripping your toughness.

They still provide damage reduction against the flames. It is a very situational thing when you can’t avoid large parts of their damage, but it does come up in Maelstrom and High-Intensity Shock Troop matches. I often find myself in situations where I have a Chaos Spawn punting me into a corner while four Bombers and two Flamers pelt me in special effects. Or times where my fellow pugs are entrenched in a tight spot due to some reason or another, and multiple Bombers come to force you out.
The frequency of these events has actually led me to consider taking Resistance against Bombers. The fact that even with all that, the perk is still simply too situational when I can instead just slap +Health into the slot instead.

I would actually consider taking fire resistance on my Martyrdom Zealot since you get a lot of resistance against anything more than tick damage from talents, but rapid ticks like fire and gunners mince you. Currently Bomber and Flamer resist are both too narrow and too unimpactful for even niche uses like that.
