The way I see it, cross climates are marketed as having very similar levels of grip in the snow as winters do...therefore the challenges this video demonstrates will be just as likely to occur when mixing summers with cross climates as it would with winters.

The above captures the problem. Mixing summer tyres and Cross Climates is probably fine most of the time; it's like having summer tyres on all 4 wheels. But in winter conditions, especially snow, you would in effect be mixing summer and winter tyres and getting very different levels of grip on each axle - a very bad idea.
