Try to do an auto land in the SIM with 20KT crosswind and you will get all the answers. First the auto flight system uses crab and not slide slip, second when it decrabs after flare wings are maintained level by spoilers and aileron activation. I think that is enough to explain the design philosophy and the SOP.
