There is a growing armada of pilots lacking the fine motor skill of placing a foot on a pedal without pressing it. They happily ignore the fact that uncle Airbus is "selling" the rudder pedals with a toe stop so the pilot is ready to hit the brakes whenever needed and wait for their "oh sugar" moment when they have to land in a gusty crosswind. They'll never learn.
On amore serious note: landing "feet up" is impossible on a Boeing and nigh to impossible on a Cessna, many instructors project this knowledge to an Airbus without questioning the logic. The tendency to buy a typerating from a TRTO, not from the manufacturer, helps to spread fake news and wrong techniques.
