Everyone is giving Apocalypse a free pass, he's a horrible person with a ridiculously stupid philosophy who's always been antagonistic toward the X-Men and mutantkind yet somehow he gets to be part of the government of the nation HIS VICTIMS fought so hard to get, as if he were some kind of admirable figure instead of a genocidal loser, they didn't even let him prove himself, Xavier just offers him to be part of the government since the beginning of Krakoa, I think that's way more questionable than whatever Xavier is doing right now but no one complained when he formed a council full of some of the most horrible people of all time, Xavier betrayed the X-Men the moment he gave evil monsters positions of power.
Xavier also deserves to be criticized but you can't criticize Xavier but praise Apocalypse, both are bad, and Apocalypse is considerably worse.
