Let me carry that logic one step further.

If the typical router is so smart about sensing what kind of ethernet
(crossover vs normal) is connected to it and 'switch'/reverse itself
accordingly,

It's usually in the port chip.

does that mean that the typical modern router - functioning
as a router - could be connected to a computer on its LAN by a
/crossover/ cable instead of a normal cable and the router/switch would
be able to figure that out and adjust accordingly?

It will probably work, depending on the hardware at both ends.
