I think the X-teams always formed a bit of a separate world. There is a number of mutant title and they have major, world-shaking story arcs of their own. Their story arcs rarely cross with those of the other d heroes. I think this is because, unlike many individual heroes, the X-men go beyond local. If they mixed with the other titles too much it would require script writers to keep tabs on each other's stories to avoid contradicting each other. Which would be a bother with 3 or 4 Avengers teams and a dozen X-teams on the go at the same time. As it is one can connect the stories retroactively.

As for the latest story. I'd say that the authors did not think it through - the actions of both sides make little sense.
