^Not Franklin. Both FF and X-Men were Fox, so him being a mutant or not didn't matter. I think he got depowered to keep him out of Krakoa. Seems a bit pointless given events in the current run have made it irrelevant, as he's out of action for Fall of X anyway.

He was not erased as mutant, right, he was only written off along with his family for two years until Disney bought FOX.

You're behind. His depowering happened during Slott's run, after the FF had come back! And now he's gone completely in North's run. So it was after Disney already owned 20th Century Fox and the X-Men and FF movie rights.

For decades Franklin was written as a mutant and depicted to be one of "The Twelve" as far back as X-Factor #13 (1986).
And, what started as a run toward DoFPast graciously led to DofPresent, and Days of Futures Yet to Come. DoFPast and DofPresent heavily featured Franklin Richards as a captured mutant detained in the South Bronx Mutant Containment Facility.
That said, now and then Earth-616 gets to keep a time-displaced character who retains their identity, powers, and personality until it's altered for reasons and stripping Franklin of his mutant status all but ensured that the memories of all time-displaced characters are now subject to alteration at any given point in the name of diversity and or inclusion.
Franklin not being a mutant is a travesty.
