Modest and Bold Suicune don't have similar KO power.
To further explain an instance why you wouldn't run Bold, ill go back to the reference of a team having trouble VS Heatran.
For Scald to guarantee 2HKO the common VGC leftovers Heatran 52/0/0/252/0/204, Modest Suicuine requires 52 SPA EVs.
For Bold Suicune to guarantee a 2HKO with Scald VS the same Heatran it requires 124 SPA EVs.
I'm more than aware that Bold is a good nature for Suicune, but my point is that alone doesn't make it the best nature on every single team. Every team has different needs from each individual Pokemon and their Nature/EV's should be calculated to accomplish that. Also by saying "everyone on Nugget Bridge uses.." provides no additional verification of your point.
