If you were flying your 767 into YSSY and 16L was the only option, would you divert to somewhere with a 3km runway?
I don't think you are getting the concept here. If I am flying to the Seychelles, one runway, and its blowing (as it does regularly) nasty s..t, then you will do that pilot thing - and do your best.

If you are landing to a place with TWO runways - one long and into wind - then you would be a DICK - to accept the short one with the XWIND.

Just saying -
