Please explain to me what the stall speed has to do with landing other than minimizing the braking and stopping distance?
It is a misinterpretation to connect the two in such a way although I fully understand what you are saying.
If I am flying in strong winds, turbulence, shear and i have 20 /30 kts down the runway why would I want to be hanging around near the stall?
This is a technique thing not a stall speed thing
Obviously if you crab in offsetting the wind to maintain the centre line flair too high and purely kick the nose straight you will be in the hands of the wind and float off to the side of the runway as you would if you did not crab to offset the winds down the approach. Its not rocket science.
