One has to ask how many Airbus aircraft of this type, using this system have landed at, near or over their cross wind limits. Out of these landings how many resulted in one of the following outcomes: had an incident, crashed, landed safely.

I suspect you will find that the negative outcomes constitute an extremely small percentage of the total possible outcomes.

It appears that this landing attempt was made in unfavourable crosswind conditons in an unfavourable runway direction. What is more likey to have caused this incident, some unique Airbus flaw or the other factors pertaining on that day?

Occam might be a good guide here.
