Just think about all the constraints Feige has to work around to setup and introduce the X-men in a way that's believable, stays true to the chars, and doesn't fuck with the MCU canon :
>1) He can't contrive some scenario that births mutants all at once because key X-men characters like Wolverine & Magneto require a back story that's set in the far past, and Xavier needs to be of an early generation for his role as mentor/teacher to make sense
>2) He can't just say that millions of mutants have always been there in the background because the audience has lived in the MCU world for a decade now and know there isn't any mutants, thus, they won't buy that one bit.
>3) He can't do a reverse house of M because that would make Mutants the result of a magical process. Mutants are not magical creatures, they are are the result of an evolutionary process, hence, the whole Children of the Atom and theme about being the next phase of human evolution.
>4) He can't do universe merging or timeline meddling because its convoluted as fuck and you will unavoidable fuck with the established canon. Check Dofp for reference. They edited the past and as a result, the earlier movies became non-canon.
>5) He can't do some dumb bullshit like Xavier mind wiping millions of Mutant on the knowledge of their powers, because the whole point of his character is striving and fighting for a world where mutants and human can co-exist in peace.
Just face it, Feige is FUCKED here, there is no clean/believable way to introduce the X-men into the MCU!!! NONE!!!
