That's as blatant as it gets.
1) Cyclops wasn't forcing Hope to do anything. The bird was coming for her, and everyone knew it. He was training her to host it, zero wrong with that. His training was strict, but that's Scott.
2) The creation of X-Force was to save the remaining 200 mutants, something Wolverine agreed with. The Purifiers, FOH and Reavers needed to be eliminated or every mutant was dead.
3) Namor went off and did his own thing, something Scott completely disagreed with him on.
4) The Phoenix killed Xavier. Scott was clearly no longer in control of his actions, unless you want to argue Jean murdered over a billion people of her own free will, and therefore the Avengers are working with someone who has killed more living sentient beings than Hitler, Stalin, Doom, and Pol Pot combined.
5) Emma going crazy under the Phoenix isn't shocking.
It didn't matter what Steve thought he was doing. He was a US Government force attacking Utopia for the purpose of arresting an innocent mutant. Something the X-Men have dealt with literally their entire existence. He didn't come to talk or "help". He came with an army to arrest the girl and takedown anyone who disagreed. That is a complete facist move. The Avengers had literally zero experience ever dealing with the Phoenix, hence why they went to someone with a pathological hatred and grudge against it. Scott had been dealing with the Phoenix for almost a decade by that point. There is no other way to spin it. The Avengers were completely and totally wrong from the word go.
