Which is strange, because taking off is far easier than landing.

  I believe the limitation on takeoff is a conscious decision by the manufacturers designed to ensure a pilot is present (similar to Tesla's hands-on-the-wheels) and not a technical limitation.

Tesla autopilot systems can do basic tasks too. Can modern autopilot systems in planes handle things outside their abilities? Like a variable crosswind while landing?

  Tautological question. Can a Tesla autopilot handle things outside its abilities? The answer is right there in the question.
