I never said crab was the only way! I said the wing down/crossed controls is used by a small percentage of pilots while the vast majority use the Crab.
(proof of the pudding?)
I also expressed a concern that SOME may use the crossed control method because they are insecure handling winds and transitioning from crab to landing straight. I stated that if you are confortable with all manner of landings and happen to choose the crossed controls then Fine.

I dont know what your PAX are like but mine do not like wings going up or down But can get a nice look at the runway through the sidewindows in the crab
