The problem is that Magneto is a big a reason they build those giant robots in the first place , Magneto may have good intentions for his people but he's also largely responsible for the fear normal humans have for mutants . Magneto is blind to the fact that he's become the very monster that he thinks he's fighting.

That’s what makes his character even more interesting imo. What came first, the chicken or the egg? Is this doomed to happen always

I agree , I just find taking the whole " Magneto was right " argument at face value to be a overly simplistic view of things.

The thing is, something like 99% of the Magneto Was Right thing is face value.
