People have expectations about characters and stories about those characters. So it is not surprising that Xavier is crossing the line, it is surprising if Xavier and the X-Men are and that this is what Marvel is actually going to go forward with as "this is what X-Men is."
No matter what great (or otherwise) country you want to compare it to, for myself, that is not why I read X-Men. And if I am now putting myself in that scenario, which seems to be either mutants or humans will be extinct by some means, I don't think I am in the minority of recognizing I am not a mutant lol.
