ELI5: How are planes able to land at such high speed without losing control and keep going in a straight line?

Whenever I'm experiencing a landing I can't help but think of how easy it would be to steer off the runway by jerking the steering wheel just a bit or any other thing like wind or just a bad landing angle. I'm associating it with a car driving at that speed and how easy is it to lose control.

Above really low speeds, the direction of a plane on a runway isn't controlled by the wheels, its controlled by the control surfaces(rudder, elevator, and ailerons)

For your car, the friction of the tires to prevent side to side movement is greater than the force from the air pushing you into the most streamlined direction, this is mostly because your car is going relatively slow

For a plane, the force from the air is significantly higher than the force from the tires because the plane has a much higher speed and wayyyy more surface area if you turn it sideways to the wind than going straight on.  Your car might present 2-3x more, a plane will present 10x or more

If you have a plane going down the runway at landing speed and just crank the front wheels hard to the right, then they'll just start skidding on the runway like you just locked up the brakes.  The tail is going to keep the plane lined up relative to the wind until the speed really drops.

This is the plane on a treadmill thing.  The tires on a plane aren't a major source of force and are freespinning for the most part.  Planes really only care about their orientation relative to airflow and airspeed.
