Good catch, the tailcam of the EY25 landing does appear to be a lot closer to getting it right, and is likely battling less crosswind component.
The landing of EY19 is a mess, and I can't imagine anyone in the rear of that aircraft enjoyed the experience during those massive oscillations. Really speaks to the engineering of the landing gear of these large aircraft, the loads endured during that touchdown would be insane.
