all of these airline jockeys always crab in. Anyone know why?

A high angle of slip scares the hell out of the passengers and puts the wingtip dangerously close to the ground.

I was told by an airline transport pilot that s swept wing plane cannot be safely slipped unless it is at or below wing in ground effect altitude. So which is it?
