He landed with quite a bit of crab and drift ( real hard on the landing gears and tire scrubbing ) but the centerline control was fine.
Aircraft are designed for exactly that for crosswind landings. For the last time, at least as far as I am concerned, all of those landings were safe and well within the design specifications that the aircraft were designed and built.

Not to mention, those landings were not, repeat not, "real hard on the landing gears".

It is quite obvious that you are not a pilot or not an experienced pilot.
