In my distinctly unmodern and small airliner (1900) this becomes an issue. The solenoid that disconnects the nosewheel steering is controlled by a squat switch on the left MAIN gear leg, and the steering has 30-ish degrees of authority. Thus at the moment of touch down the steering engages, even though the nose isn't on the ground yet. During a strong crosswind with lots of rudder input during derotation you are rewarded with an annoying swerve as your cocked nosewheel grabs the pavement at 80 knots or so. For a truly smooth x-wind landing you have to center the pedals the moment before the nosewheel touches.
Other annoyances - the props go into low pitch the instant the right main squat switch is satisfied, thus slamming the left main onto the runway if it wasn't already there. Since there's no spool-up time involved, it's as though reverse thrust on a jet was instantly applied with but one one gear leg on the ground. One big thud. Rant over.
