Asymmetrical thurst

Poor instructors.

Interesting...because the first CFI I flew with in 15 years had me use the
exact same technique my primary instructor taught me: point it down the
runway with the rudder, hold it over the centerline with the ailerons. I had
thought that was the standard light aircraft approach to the problem.

Have these techniques gone the way of the steam gauges?
The first technique (differential thrust) never existed to my knowledge

I wouldn't expect differential thrust to be manageable with a
turbofan/turbojet because of the time lag between throttle and thrust.
