A word about crosswinds from a former airline pilot.

Climate change is bringing stronger winds, among a lot of other 'inconveniences'.
Aircraft manufacturers together with the FAA determine the maximum crosswind in which a particular type aircraft can be safely landed.
High crosswind landings call for a lot of skill on the pilot's part.
I have been there and, even within that limit, the pucker factor can be pretty high.

If the winds are higher than those limits, you can't/don't land there.

I don't know if American was truthful about the reason for their cancellations, but the limitations exist and are adhered to.
