Welcome to the hovering landing.
On the top of my strip the wind speed is usually higher (big round topped hill). So if you aim for the apex of the hill your ground speed can get into single figures. Controlling height with power suddenly makes a lot of sense.
On the other hand aiming for the threshold puts you into serious turbulence and occasionally some wind rotor - definitely to be avoided.
If I could find a way to taxi to and from the strip in high winds then I guess VTOL would be possible.
