Seems Etihad isn't too pleased with their decision either:

Here is an onboard view, showing the landing from the tailcam. NSFW language on "arrival".

According to the thread on PPRUNE this was a different flight operated by a different A380. Original video is A6-APJ (operating EY19) and this one was A6-API (operating EY25). Looking over that thread EY25 shows a more correct version of getting the crab angle reduced before touchdown versus the original video of EY19.
