Agree. There has to be a point where the crosswinds are so severe, the pilot says Nope, not going to do it. Wouldnt be prudent, and go land somewhere else. This video looked like one of those times.
There are ways to figure out if you are "out of the envlope" for max cross wind componet WAY before being only 50 feet off the ground.
