I don't think Marvel has given the X-Men the backseat in regards to the comics. There are currently six X-Men-related titles (Extraordinary X-Men, All-New X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, X-Men '92, All-New Wolverine and Old Man Logan). There are also two Deadpool-related titles, and Uncanny Avengers, which has "Avengers" on its title but it's a team meant to unite humans, mutants and Inhumans. The aforementioned X-Men '92 is based on the popular and fan-favorite X-Men TV show, so I'd say it would be a contradiction if Marvel wanted to relegate the X-Men to an inferior status yet banked on such an imporant and beloved part of the X-Men mythos. The X-Men have also appeared in Civil War II. Several mutant heroes have popped up in the main book, and they even have their own tie-in mini-series called Civil War II: X-Men. Funnily enough, the X-Men were barely involved in the first Civil War a decade ago.

Additionally, while the X-Men are currently on the ropes, it's not the first time they have faced extinction. The Legacy Virus and the House of M are examples of this, and the consequences of House of M were much more tragic than that of the Terrigen Cloud.
