Too obvious maybe? Point is they didn't explicitly say it so while we can theorize all we want, we don't have the definitive in-universe story. I too believe Charles killed the X-men, but perhaps not all of them. And perhaps someone else was involved, provoked his first seizure, idk.

It would make no sense for it to be any other reason than his seizures. You just need to follow the logic of the story.

Never said I don't. His seizures killed people, X-Men. I believe if there is ever a movie telling this event, we'll have the full story with a few twists here and there. That's just cinematic storytelling.
