What I did notice, there was no corrective action taken, before touch down. Why?

"When you can touch down, at max demonstrated crosswind for the aircraft type, on the centre line, the aircraft heading and track the same as the runway direction and maintain the above. Then you can land crosswind. This is what we aim to do right? Well if it can't be done, then it could be argued the handling pilot does not have full control of the aircraft. Or does he or she? Juggle the rudder, you are inviting trouble"

This applies to all fixed wing aircraft I have flown.
