Because regardless of the morals of the matter Cyclops was ultimately right. The phoenix did reignite the mutant race. Hell, Cyclops wasn't even morally wrong and even if he were he still came out being right at the end of it all.

Cyclops wasn't wrong to take that risk. He would have been wrong not to take it given what he knew about the future of the mutant race.
The people who might have died if Hope couldn't have controlled the Phoenix force might not think that it was his choice to make. The people who are now mutants because of the risk he took might not think that it was his choice to make. Most other mutants, even, did not think that it was his choice to make.
Cyclops played dice with the fate of the planet; that he won doesn't mean he had the right to play with everybody else's money.
It might make him super bad-ass and hard-core dedicated that he didn't let that stop him (actually, it totally does), but that still didn't make it his decision to make. Don't get me wrong, I love Cyclops, and I do appreciate that he was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for what he believes in; that is truly heroic. And I'm really glad he's played the part that he has in recent events, because, at the end of the day, it just really does make for a better story, but that still doesn't justify what he did, morally.
Not his decision to make? Last I checked it wasn't his decision, it was the Phoenix that came back and did all of that and would have done so with or without Cyclops being involved. Cyclops has forced nothing on anyone, the phoenix restored the natural order of things and, again, would have done so with or without him being there as the Avengers showed that had zero way of stopping it.
Cyclops didn't play dice with anyone or anything, he knew what the phoenix was there to do from the beginning since he knows the phoenix better than most. He wasn't taking a risk, he wasn't playing with lives he knew the phoenix was not there to harm anyone. Just to fix the mess the Scarlet Witch made.
