Generally, the wind is less intense at the surface, so if you have maintained the centerline down approach, it's likely not worse over the runway
More misleading statements. Whats an intense wind? One that blows seriously?

You dont need any rudder correction to crab down the approach but you do need rudder input it to de crab and once you hit the stops you have no more rudder left. Whatever your crosswind limit is just above the runway you can double that wind velocity and still fly down tbe approach by crabbing so in tbe same way it might be possible to fly down the appraoch maintaing the centreline but not have sufficent rudder deflection to decrab on landing making it far worse(to use your description).

and even better wet grass, are more desirable for crosswind landings.
That has to be one of the most ridiculous statements Ive ever heard!
