The Xmen have but mutants tend to be either public knowledge or had recent boom in population

People send their kid to Xavier's to avoid them being seen by the neighbors as mutants. There is gossip, hatred, fear. None of this is relevant to the Avengers or SHIELD thus far so it wouldn't have to have come up in the movies yet and so it would not need to be explained by some Snap or reality bend or anything.

As to the X-Men question, given how secret identities are not a thing in the MCU outside of Spider-Man really, the mutant registration idea can be used well in an MCU X-Men. The threat of forcibly registering any mutants that appear sounds like plenty of drama for teens and young adults as they would be.

It's not really the same thing. The Avengers were acting with complete autonomy and ignored any and all international laws that governed jurisdiction to mete out their own brand of justice.

The world was largely fine with that because they trusted the Avenger's judgement but then they decided to create Ultron and almost ended the world and it became somewhat obvious that the Avengers maybe needed some form of oversight.

I tend to agree with Captain America, though, and think too much red tape makes doing the superhero thing too difficult, but after The Snap I'd be very surprised if the Sokovian Accords weren't ripped up and thrown into the trash anyway.

Regardless, there's a huge difference between reining in the Avengers after they almost destroyed all life on the planet and the whole world retroactively hating and fearing mutants enough that it's totally normal for Sentinels to patrol the streets of New York (as an example) and monitor and scan everyone to find mutants so they can put them in prison for the crime of being born.

At least with Inhumans you can say the simultaneous, spontaneous and seemingly random acquisition of superpowers across the planet has led to a lot of accidents that have cost a lot of lives and the governments of the world have decided it's best for everyone's safety if Inhumans are identified and separated from humans until either their powers are taken away (if you want to use the disease angle) or they learn how to properly use their powers.

You can't really do that with mutants.
Ross was also very likely snapped away since he appears exactly the same at Tony's funeral and wasn't referenced at all until then in Endgame, he'll likely use that as a reason for why we definitely need a government run super team now with Thunderbolts

OK, I'm confused. Why are we talking mutants in the MCU when neither Kamala nor Monica are mutants?

The question was raised about how Disney intends to handle mutants if they're introducing Inhumans first. As we know, the Inhumans were only expanded upon by Marvel as a way to replace mutants because they didn't own the film rights to the X-Men. Then Disney started the process to buy Fox in 2017 and not even a year later we got that Death of the Inhumans storyline and, not long after that, the very successful reboot of the X-Men with Dawn of X. I think a lot of people assumed the Inhumans weren't needed any more.
