Interesting conclusion you make there (with a lot of bias), but the way I read it is that they recommend to use the ICAO wind regulations to select the runway in use, which means 5kts tail 15kts cross (vs. 7kts and 20kts now), so if there's wind coming from the S or N they still recommend to use 20/02. What is true is that 20/02 is shorter (700m), has a small gradient (about 1%). But landing with a moderate northerly wind will always be safer on 02 than to use 07L.
