I'm sure part of it has to do with the fact that Mystique is running around in belly shirts in her own title and they don't want for her to be seen as a forty-something.
It seems to me that the way Marvel does retcons is to simply ignore everything that happened before and only focus on the story that's being written at the moment. If a writer wants to throw in some established continuity, that's fine, but there doesn't seem to be much pressure to make tings fit.
I think it's probably cuz Marvel is selling a lot through tpb's in bookstores which means the stories are self-contained and the less baggage the better.

Sounds like a continuous Elseworlds. Not bad, in that it affords them more latitude in story telling, but I wonder if they lose readers by abandoning the history.
