Do they, though? If you're not at the Xavier school, you have to hide who you are if you don't want to get lynched.If you are at the Institute, then you basically live in a compound surrounded by ridiculous security, and you spend your days at school being taught by teachers who on occasion try to murder each other. And that's without counting the Danger Room.
the same universe where the same people who have superpowers are being praised (avengers), while others are being hated (x-men), comics logic.
let's be honest, humans have absolutely no power over mutant, any high level omega and beyond mutans, can end the civilization easily. civilians lives are view as worthless in comic universes.
