A lot of fanfics I read that have some sort of compromise for mutant/human relations make a hard exception for telepaths. Either widespread blocking (everyone has Magneto helmets, that sort of thing) or forced mutant cure type of thing. Even among the deadlier powers its just too much to just ignore. Having people who can poke through your head, and potentially the heads of the entire world, reading your memories, implanting new ones and even just outright controlling you is just too much. And even in story the best most moral telepaths we've seen have abused their powers at some point or another.
I don't know if that dichotomy you posted is quite fair. You can dislike the previous runs and still dislike what Hickman is doing. To me it feels like he's actually doubling down on the worst aspects of those runs, and making the problems with the X books worse than they were.
