Fam... do you keep up with history? Violence is almost the only sure fire thing you can count on from humanity. There hasn’t been a point in human history were violence wasn’t the common recourse of action. This is just being mirrored by the comics.
The Krakoa thing is interesting because its really the only thing the mutants haven’t been able to try, which is leverage.
From Day One the mutants have been fighting for the lives and begging for a seat at the table and they deserve one. However in life, you don’t get what you deserve, you get what you have leverage to negotiate. The Mutants have never had much to leverage outside of “We promise to not blow ya’ll up” that half the time ends up getting broken. Take cues from America’s history, we ain’t just gonna sit around and adhere to a threat. Mutants now have something of value to offer the humans ALONG WITH the threat of their powers by rejecting the gift. In negotiations and war, you have to make it not worth your opponent’s efforts to attack/conquer you to actually maintain any level of peace.
Yes, I do keep up with history. It literally used to be my fukking job and to an extent it still is.
Guess what else human history has told us: Using violence and force as a deterrent is all well and good until you no longer have the biggest gun on the block. Then you're a threat to be eliminated post-haste and trust me when I say you can't always be in the equal or superior position. Don't believe me, take a good hard look at the current atrocity being perpetuated in Kashimir: a "peace" borne partially from nuclear deterrance that collapsed the very second India thought they could gain an advantage. Some peace through superior firepower
that turned out to be.
The ONLY lasting peaces in human history have come not from threat of force but through shared values. If you're wedded to playing power politics, you and your opponent are always going to end up killing one another at some point down the line. And if not your current opponent, then someone else. If not someone else, then your country will rot from within.
That is the lesson of political history (see American political history from 1945 onward).
And besides, you're still not answering the question of why Hickman didn't even consider a political option. In fact, you're even making the point for me: at the very least the leverage game should have come to Xavier and Moira's mind much earlier than "just separate" or "make war," because at least you're attempting to use a deterrent as opposed to becoming an actual threat. All you're telling me is that it's idiotic both from a logical standpoint, as well as from a generally interesting storytelling standpoint, for none of this to have really come up before our dumbass scientist heroine died nine times.
Bruh 
Kill Captain America and a bus full of Children?
If they die, they die......is not what Xavier’s dream is about.
