Is communion in the hand a liturgical abuse?

This question is specific to the Novus Ordo in the Roman Catholic Church. Communion in the hand is not allowed in the Extraordinary Form. It seems that receiving communion in the hand is a liturgical abuse, as [Father Federico Bortoli](https://onepeterfive.com/communion-hand-true-story/) says of the topic, "[t]his was obviously a liturgical abuse, which put its roots down in those countries where there were already doctrinal problems regarding the Holy Eucharist: Belgium, Holland, France, and Germany." However, many bishops permit reception of communion in the hand in their dioceses, even distributing it in the hand themselves. It seems strange that this would be the case if communion in the hand were a liturgical abuse.
