(There's some precedent for this in his flirtation with Psylocke)
The result is that the Jean dies, temporarily, but through her death and his relationship with Emma he decides to start being a little more assertive. This culminates in the Utopia era, where he is basically the head of state of a mutant nation, all the way through to the Avengers VS X-Men where he's willing to step waist deep into risky, morally dubious gray waters for the sake of mutantkind.
Now, thoroughly radicalized, he is basically in the position that Magneto used to be in and even goes into Secret Wars as trying to uphold the mutant cause. He's gone from being a complete milquetoast douchebag to a charismatic revolutionary.
And the only reason his characterization in Krakoa works at all is because, thanks to the HOXPOX reveals, Xavier is now fairly radilized himself.
In summary Cyclops might have a dull personality, but his story is anything but.
