Think you will find that the wings are still carrying a lot of the load in a normal but high ROD landing. Modern airliner struts do not just bottom-out except in extreme overload, they get very stiff in the latter part of their range to avoid destructive structural failure from a high ROD touchdown, esp below normal MLW, although progressive overload damages will occur with the severity of overstress. The "question" of measuring loadings and their interpretation, has also been long understood for airliners.
