They can... Because they aren't actually cutting, but more like teleporting one side to another location
Yeah, durability becomes kind of irrelevant when your arm/leg etc. is simply in a different point of space than the rest of you and the connection between those points is severed, because it doesn't cut you in a conventional way. Some of your atoms are in one place. Some of them are in another. Break the connection before they get back together, and whoops, you need a hand. We see similar in DoFP and The Gifted with Blink cutting up things when her portals close on them.

As the guy from the YouTube Pitch Meeting series likes to say... "Because."
Sad thing with overly hax characters. More often than not, they will need to suffer some level of PIS, at least initially, or there won't be any story. One of the best recent examples is Apocalypse from the X-Men movies. That guy should have wrecked their shit before Jean ever had a chance to go into Phoenix mode, but he apparently forgot about half of his powers for the final battle.
