Kinda wonder why they didn’t choose an alternate airport. Big downside risk.

A 380 is like size of a building. Not every airport can accept it, although I guess for a lot of them that’s a gate restriction, not for runways. Anyway my point is, their selection is not unlimited.

I suspect that most pilots wouldn’t take the crosswind runway, but maybe they wanted the challenge!
