You just aren't moving the same amount of weight with those exercises. If I'm squatting 300 pounds, while most of the time the weight is distributed, there will be moments where one of my legs is balancing close to 300 pounds. There will be no moment anywhere close to that with a single leg pistol or skater squat. Those are great exercises, but you'll get a different outcome IMO.
