I wondered the same thing.
And while it's not uncommon to see someone who can squat a lot and still struggle with single-leg movements, it isn't desirable. It makes me suspect that there are some compensation patterns in your squat and those weaknesses are highlighted once you have to stand on a single leg. In a balanced system there would not be this much difference in performance.
Unilateral exercises will always be lighter than bilateral exercises and I don't know if there's ever been any way to measure by how much. But strengthening unilateral movements is an excellent way to bring the body into better muscular balance.
