Yeah, remember when we looked at "Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch aren't mutants" and thought that kind of thing wouldn't happen any more now that Disney had the mutant rights back? Nope!
Maybe it was never about movie rights, maybe it was just infighting between editorial offices all along.
It might not have been anything between offices but just seeing some characters they wanted to stream line. I still feel like they should have kept Quicksilver a mutant out of all of the changes, because he actually spent a decent time on that side. But they'll do what they want.

Alright, I have to open this Pandora's Box: how would you fix the Wanda problem? Anything from redeeming her, absolving her, or just ending her.
Personally, I think you could absolve her by blaming the whole thing on Xavier and Magneto. Have them be forewarned by Moira and monitoring her while she was going through her trauma conga line, and never stepping in. And when Pietro brought her to them to help, have them deliberately not help her and in fact push the two of them into causing the mess as part of their whole master plan to save mutantkind. Push them to the brink in order to motivate them into going along with everything later.
They tried absolving her. It didn’t work. And I hope it would flop hard again if they tried blaming Mutants, any Mutants, for her actions.
Honestly, I’d just ignore it and have her exist somewhere else. It doesn’t seem like the Avengers side has any current use for her but I would just leave her out of the Mutant books. Things were just fine until Hickman made it a thing again. No more apologies, excuses, or worthless redemptions. Just move on.

They can't. Marvel just hasn't realized they can't. They did too much damage and then waited too long to try to redeem her, then flopped on the redemption several times. Now we are here where they are attempting it again.
I wouldn't blame anyone else. I'd have had Wanda go around and repower mutants with their permission. But I also would have never have done HoM in the first place.
Now they have to reconcile her growing MCU popularity with their lack of investment in the character for going on 20 years.

Wanda, a reality change, has been set back to a time where she was still Magneto’s biological daughter and a mutant.
Basically, I think in Axis due to anger at her father she altered reality so it would be believed she and Quicksilver would not be Magneto’s children.
Magneto didn’t use the words biological. Basically, he said there’s a difference between what is real and what is true.
I think Wanda and Pietro will move to Krakoa to be with their father and with their fellow mutants precisely due to Wanda’s MCU popularity and due to the Avengers office lack of investment in her.
So it’s why she had to be killed and resurrected on Krakoa, or basically why she killed herself. For redemption and for acceptance on resurrection.
Wanda often subconsciously acts, like creating those monsters upon not locking what she learned when she got some of her memories back.
