I think there are three separate issues here.
The first is a pilot who apparently doesn't know the limits set by the company and tries to land although the weather is beyond company limits. That in itself is not a good sign.
The second issue is of course a company limit that is extremely low and is just as high as the normal autoland crosswind limit. Which indicates that the company runs an awful training department and tries to compensate that by very low wind limits.
The third issue is of course a pilot that cannot land in winds that are well below boeing provided guidelines, which kinda proves the companies self assessment about its own training department. Of course he busted the company limits in the first place and therefore is beyond the scope of its training, still a bad sign though.
