Think about it to landing in a cross wind condition you have to take off in a cross wind condition. So why put your self in that condition. Always another day. What next how to land in ran or snow condition

.
Uhmm ... (1) to make you a better pilot, and (2) so that if the wind changes during your flight (not uncommon for many fields) you don't panic and fall apart ?
I am basing this on a RC Jet Pilot that know how to use a rudder who desided to take off in bad condition. I fly a 33% extra and used every control surface to hover or to do a knife edge, rolling circle, But when im flying a jet I never feel any great need to use the rudder during flight. (Just my opinion).
