I mean, given the kind of death camps and giant killer robots and tailored mutant-killing plagues and registration acts and genocidal massacres that go on, it would be like deciding to move to Nazi Germany and walk around Berlin pretending to be a Jew. "Yes, please kill me a lot!"
I can see it simply being an obvious blind spot, given what they've gone through, with every human they've encountered over the last decade or so trying to kill them (and their few human allies either dropping off the face of the earth, like Peter Corbett or Stevie Hunter or Tom Corso, or turning out to secretly be mutants, like Moira), for the X-Men to not consider the idea that *they have human fans*.
