May I suggest you 'consolidate' a little more as a PPL.! Your explanation of crosswind landings in heavy jets is pure bxxxxx.
Approaches and landings in a crosswind are conducted with judicious application of drift compensation not bank. The drift is kicked off in the flare by rudder hopefully to ensure the main wheels touch in line with the runway centre line. Any bank in these circumstances is dangerous and likely to cause engine pod or impact damage.
