Heroes written by Bendis do kill though. In the 616 and 1610.
Thinking about it, I believe it was Avengers Dissassembled that kicked off the MU characters using lethal force against their enemies.

Probably because it's not their problem. Sentinels target people with the mutant gene and the other superhero teams are not mutants so it's more like "it's not our problem, let them deal with it."
Or... they probably have their own stuff to deal with and don't want to tackle on something they think they can't defeat.
Yes, but it used to be an extreme circumstance that got lots of in-universe criticism and debate. Now, it seems more accepted, or at least not as strongly and vehemently opposed as it used to be.
Because really, the Sentinels are the extreme end of government-sponsored and politically sanctioned bigotry against mutants. To deal with Sentinels, you have to deal with the politics that make Sentinels appealing or acceptable in the first place, and politics aren't something you can punch until it surrenders and agrees to go to jail. Unfortunately, superheroes aren't that good at addressing serious issues that can't be solved by punching the crap out of the right person or people, and that also applies to the X-Men, or else you'd see a lot more efforts on their part toward engaging in political and social advocacy. Of course, the flipside of that is that when every day is a literal fight for survival against people who want to see your people completely subjugated or exterminated and have state approval to make that happen, you might reasonably lose faith in the democratic/political process as a tool of justice and fairness for your people.
