Here's a question for the trolls and flight simmers

To be fair, a lot of people who learned to fly in Cherokees don't use
rudder in a crosswind. Mostly because they haven't been taught to. The
Cherokee will tolerate landing in a crab more than most. In fact
wheelchair pilots are allowed to fly them with a snap-on hand control
that even people who rent can use. Just snaps in and out. The only
restriction which has to be aded to the POH is a crosswind limit 2 knots
lower.
The wheelchair people aside, it's a sloppy way to land an airplane
compared to using the wing down and riskier also.
That is why I'd recommend any PPL to do a couple of hours in a
sailplane.
You really have to get to use the rudder...
