If you crab you have no choice but to change at some point as the nose has to line up with centre line before touch down otherwise a lot of excitement ensues

obviously
unless you want to land sideways but nothing is static in the air we fly in or rarely
This is about pilot skills and judgement all the way to touchdown and beyond in the rollout to full stop! In strong crosswinds and turbulence, up and down draughts you are still using those skills.
What if an up draft lifts the aircraft on touchdown and you are back in the air in a strong crosswind do you slip again maybe a number of times
It would worry me if methods were used to substitute for strong handling skills
