Crosswind limits

Where did these crosswind limits come from? PNs for PR7 & T4 say in paras 106 and 108 - "A crosswind landing presents no special difficulty, and the crab technique is recommended. If the crosswind is gusting strongly increase the threshold speed by 5 to 10 knots."
No point in having a limit when one usually had no alternate and barely fuel for a go-around.
The one really vital limitation was the pilot thigh length not to exceed 26.5"!
Kneecaps left on coaming.
