I think one of the main things that makes the major central skylines more unique is that they formed over much longer time ranges and at different times based on when they had growth spurts. Therefore they generally don't just have international or any other single style. They tend to have both early and late international styles along with POMO and modernist revival. Plus there was a greater diversity of uses (office, hotel, residential and some institutional) and sizes. So it doesn't really matter that examples of any one style aren't that different across cities.
But with the suburbs they're overwhelmingly tall residential towers from the last 25ish years rising from a base lacking in lower level density.
