Imo cx skills are mostly keeping traction in the sections where you have to power through like crazy and keeping the power up there, grug also has 0 competition fitness wise in cx aside from wout and there is almost no climbing in cx either. Meanwhile the xc field at the top is obviously at his fitness because grug is actually not that great of a climber unless its sprinting up a short rampa and xc climbing is far longer. Pidcock has way better overall w/kg and he would probably drop them all.
My 2ct as someone who doesn't particularly like to watch either discipline
