I think it’s far too late to undo the retcon without raising further headaches, and it would be pointless without the Mainline editorial giving them to the X-Books, or the X-Books making use of them beyond flaying the Twins alive*
If they do a cartoon etc set in a verse where the X-Men and Avengers exist, sure keep them as family; but not for 616
*for the record I would imagine that, in time, those who view Wanda as a symbol of how the classic Avengers era ended will come to loath her nearly as much as the X-fans; so there is that to look forward to.
Why does Sinister get a free pass for being a modern Mengele because it was “chemically induced”, and Wanda doesn’t for being literally insane and casting a spell that caused unintentional deaths? That’s a double standard if I ever saw one. And I never saw Sinister giving a mea culpa for the suffering and deaths he caused. Wanda has at times, at other times she made some bad comments about it, but it could be interpreted as her being tired of being beaten over the head over it when she’s tried to move on. It’s not like she intentionally shoved someone in a volcano.
Children’s Crusade tried to absolve her by blaming Doom’s influence, that other event tried to absolve her by she and Hope reigniting the X-gene, her solo tried to absolve her by letting her do a personal quest. It’s long past time for her to do anything else more satisfying, and to me at this point vilifying her for Decimation when actual villains get a seat at the table and get to help determine mutantkind’s direction, is a joke.

“Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.” Goethe
again, some of those depowered mutants died instantly (see: Magma's boyfriend). the others could no longer defend themselves when bigoted humans and/or a serial killer mutant came for them. at best, you're stealing something integral to the make-up of another person. imagine that you're a gifted artist and someone removed your eyes or cut off your hands.

Beyond that, entire communities suffered and died as a consequence. Post-Decimation, Storm was wandering the African continent helping communities in volatile regions that lost their primary sources of security, which were the mutants among them. It wasn’t just that Wanda erased their uniqueness; countless people died as a result.
