I think it makes more sence to ban quick feet, special attackers dont have as many options as physical attackers when it comes to general damage and quick feet + psychic terrain is what really put the team structure over edge as pretty much every other speed control ability is banned or restricted, so unless you get a beast boost in speed, play trick room or prank tailwind those teams are going to outspeed everything.
Outside of like punk rock, most of what special attackers use is also avaliable for phy attackers and trying to break ice scales is already almost impossible, removing flare boost would make any special oriented team unviable, meanwhile removing quick feet actually increase the offensive counterplay instead of just the defensive one that is already pretty good.

Is not like Defiant isnt a thing.If Guts has been banned Flare Boost should be too. If anything it’s worse since you can use Intimidate to lower Guts users attacks, in combination with Quick Feet you’ve got a free Scarf and Specs on your entire team
