Visually, they cross. Not on the same side, I agree.
But, in a correctly radially spoked lacing pattern, there is NO visible crossing.
The spokes are staggered incorrectly.
I am unable to detect adjacent near flange holes being laced to adjacent holes in the rim.
There is not sufficient depth of field to see that (at least I can't.)
But, anyway you look at it, the stagger is incorrect.
So?

You keep making the same point and keep missing the obvious. The wheel isn't laced correctly. The whole wheel is laced mostly correctly. There are two spokes out of place that are causing the hub to twist. The solution is simple and straight forward and will solve the problem. No need to talk about bracing angles or which spokes pull and which push or whether it is better to have the heads out or heads in (head in is just goofy looking) or crossing spokes or whether it was made at the factory that way. It's a lacing mistake. Pure and simple. Fix the lacing and all the crossing and angles will go away.
