I have used the crab method in 40kts 90 degree winds into Denham in a twin (that was the absolute limit)
We never know what conditions may face us some day, therefore we must strive to learn to handle an airplane to the limits the airplane can be operated.
The above can and will present its self if you fly long enough.
Many years ago I was faced with an approach and landing with a cross wind of 90 degrees at fifty knots with ground visibility of zero zero in blowing snow in a DC3. The landing was successful.
I feel your examples will fall on deaf ears...
True.
But there will always be those who can hear.
