ive thought about it but eh
anyway the purpose of boah is to counter stall teams, which are now largely populated with hippowdon and gliscor with a few donphan thrown in
skarmory has never been a tyranitar counter — when they both came on the scene in GSC tyranitar commonly carried fire blast just for it. in advance skarmory was facing one of three variants: the quintessential tyranitar in 2004, who had taunt and didn't need a special attack, boah in ~2005, who carried TB, or CB tyranitar, who became popular in 2006 and did ~43% to Skarmory with Rock Slide and was actually faster. in 2007 Tyranitar got Stone Edge which is even worse for Skarmory, who can often be 2HKOed with a CBed Stone Edge, you get the idea
forry and bronzong may do better against the new standard than they would if fire blast were the non-STABbed special move of choice, but keep in mind that both hippowdon and gliscor have instant recovery moves that can actually allow them to wall tyranitar's dark pulses and recover the hp. forry and bronzong don't have that luxury
