are they put on at 4 year heavy checks or not fitable on the old Boeing wing?
Were they cross wind tested if the bottom of it hits the runway?

Southwest flies three types of aircraft :737-700, 737-800, 737 Max8. All three type have split scimitars (not sure if all 700s have been retrofitted yet).
The FAA would not have certified the use of them if there was a concern about their use at any point in time of the flight envelope - including cross wind landings.

Also they do not look look very good. If they are removed I will fly on the airline for 5 years more each season.

As an aerospace engineer, I could explain what they are for and why they don't be removed. But as an English speaker, I have absolutely no clue what you just said.

I view an airplane as artwork and prefers aircraft without them.
