That's true, but to my knowledge, most people who participate in tournaments are also ladderers anyway, and out of a desire to win, they would likely use their most successful team on the ladder in tournaments, so I don't think that the "metagame" in tournaments would be very different compared to that among the top trainers on a ladder. But in any case, I don't see any evidence of many, let alone all Tyranitar anti-leads holding Focus Sash in the tournament scene, or anywhere else either.
