Because like I said it’s a red herring. Even the trailers misdirect the viewer into thinking that Jean is trying to kill the X-Men and is attacking the train(when in reality she is saving them). I think I remember Kinberg saying months ago that the X3 parallels are intentional or something. You think she is going down the villain path again but Jean instead shapes her own destiny.
The worse thing Jean does is kill Mystique but it’s presented an accident rather than something she did on purpose.

You can like most parts of an story, even if you don't like how it ends. Not to mention that these films always have big changes from the original version (if MCU adapts Dark Phoenix Saga sometime, they would change things too).
Also, Fox didn't know audience wouldn't like the original end of Dark Phoenix film (where Jean clearly died) until it was made.
That said, I don't think the ending is the reason why this film has poor reception.

For X3, Fox didn’t want to tell the Phoenix to be told because it’s too dark. Not to mention Zak Penn was also writer on that.
I don’t see the problem with this film, honestly. Many people here complained about how they were skipping to Jean’s downfall before showing her rise to power. The film played it up like it was about her downfall but subverted that expectation in the end and instead revealed itself to be about Jean’s ascension to godhood. I remember calling this since the movie was announced.
Why does Jean love Scott in this movie? Is there relationship at the point where he would killspoilers:end of spoilers Unlike the comics we barely know Jean and Scott's relationship.
Magneto to protect her.

No. Jean became one with the cosmic energy, still alive. She took on the form of the firebird and is travelling in space. The next movie 5 years from now will show the Avengers travelling to an alien planet to look for a mysterious energy they picked up. What tgey find is Jean, in human form.
