What it is
An 11-minute compilation of airliner landings, take-offs and missed approaches filmed at Birmingham (BHX) during a stormy UK winter. It shows aircraft crabbing in strong crosswinds, wings flexing in turbulence, and five aborted approaches, three diverted and two go-arounds. The footage is posted by the channel flugsnug.

No, when an airliner touches down, it is not committed to stop. However, a go around after touchdown is not an easy task and sometimes can be very dangerous. A hypothetical situation is discussed here [LINK] which is similar to Flight 9268 [LINK] which you mentioned. Compared to a landing, more runway is required for a takeoff. After the touchdown, pilots have very little time to decide to take off again if they cannot stop. Fortunately 1 , most of the time, this decision is made very quickly. However, if an airplane is slowed down below the minimum safe go-around speed, there will (or may 2 ) not be enough runway remaining to take off again. Therefore, pilots should accept a runway overrun,

I found this video [this video] showing x-wind landings. There are a couple of touch and gos which might suggest that they are not rare.
Cites DrZ214 · 2016-01 · Aviation Stack Exchange · on “Why are some runways apparently wobbly?”
In this youtube video [this video] , there are several examples at 0:34, 1:15, and 1:27. You can see the runway looks wobbly. That last one appears to have at least three wobbles in it. These are runways on which large commercial jumbo jets are landing, so presumably they're built to world-class standards. Do these standards allow for such wobbling along they're length? If so how is that possible?
