You understand aviation and have a high knowledge level....just because you haven't done it doesn't mean you can't have a very valid opinion on it. Not to mention the group of people who has flown an airplane the size of an A380 is very small, and certainly doesn't include me.
There may be some over-controlling and oscillation there for sure, but I tend to think it is more a function of the mass of that machine being very hard to get back under control once it is moving in the wrong direction. Kind of like a small wiggle driving a Honda civic, would be a big event in a heavy semi.
From what I saw in the video, he does quickly dampen the oscillations side to side, but again with that much mass it still takes a few cycles.
But I don't think I would say that it was primarily pilot induced oscillations like you had experienced, more just landing technique errors combined with the strong crosswind.
Just MHO though.
