The equal armed cross has been a pagan symbol in a great many early cultures, even when it isn't an ogam. I think its just coincidence the ogam for a-ailm is a cross, all the ogam are straight lines crossing a fixed lines, one to five, crossing one side or both, straight or at an angle. On the stones the meridian line they cross is the edge of the stone.

Usually thought to represent the sun divided into four by solstices and equinoxes.

Hoping to get signed back to work today, so less stonehead-bothering from me!
