this makes tom unique, yes.

bad religion has x1000 more pick slides than blink's discography.

what? palm muting was a black sabbath thing back in the 70s. hell even metallica palm muted all over the 80s. then bad religion took it to punk. it's been fundamental to the genre well before blink came along.

Yeah, like Jan said, not saying he invented it. Just saying that they're things he picked up along the way and then became part of his style & common traits. It's like saying brutal violence in a Tarantino movie is a common trait for Tarantino, but there's been violence in movies for over 100 years. What can be a trait for Tom can be traits for other guitarists as well.
