There are a lot of airlines out there that disregard limitations. I often sat watching 737s come and go in the UK and Ireland with winds across the runway of 40 gusting 50 kts. These pilots were not reported by atc. . .Some of these airlines are on tight budgets and can’t afford diversions or the crews would get into trouble with management.
