Saying six of the last seven movies have been good...is true but isn't exactly painting the right picture towards it. Two of those movies came from the Wolverine spin-off series. That's now over with because Hugh Jackman is done with it. Two of those movies came from Deadpool which barely classify as a spin-off anyway because they aren't really that connected to the X-men movie series.
X-men belongs to the same comic brand as all the other heroes so why shouldn't they be for the same market as all those others?
I don't recall any significant backlash to Spider-man. In fact Sony did the two Amazing Spider-man movies, they weren't well liked and they did so so at the box office and then once Marvel Studios stepped in and made Homecoming then that movie was well liked and was very successful. Star Wars is made by another studio altogether and the prequels had massive backlash themselves so nothing has changed with that.
Fans are already not accepting the X-men series right now. People didn't like the last one, they didn't turn up to see it, the amount of fans who want to see X-men under Marvel Studios so they can be in the MCU far out number those who don't and the next movie coming up which is Dark Phoenix nobody is all that interested in because the Dark Phoenix has already been done and Wolverine won't be in it.

Xmen is for more maturer content readers, its always been the case. Their stories are born out of adult problems. Adult themes that kids will be bored by and have no interest in.
We will see how Dark Phoniex does. People didnt turn up for Apocalypse as much as hoped, but thats because it was poorly handled. Suicide Squad made more money yet was 10x worse so it dont mean zilch. People turned up for Deadpool and Logan after Apocalypse, the Fox logo still has faith in viewers.
"Fans" who want to see Xmen in MCU are shallow. All they care about is seeing pretty costumes and bombastic explosions.
Apocalypse is basically them showing they have no new ideas. It's a sign of how they are now.
The MCU gives freedom too, look at James Gunn and Taiki Wakiti. They just won't let a director destroy their entire Universe.
No, X-Men has always been aimed at the same age groups. Their claim of being about adult issues is really nonsense because X-Men doesn't work as a racism allegory.
No, I think they just want stuff like the X-Men being about competent heroes who SUCCEED at their mission of being more accepted (which they X-Men suck at) and then doing other stuff like going to the Savage Land or into Space or things like that. As it is, the X-Men are very incompetent.
