Again, he was cast in this role with the intention of Wandavision being the 4th installment on phase 4. It's possible something about mutants would have already been revealed by now in The Eternals, Black Widow, or The Falcon and the Winter Soldier that wouldn't have made this Evan Peters reveal that significant.
Well for one you're making a pretty big assumption mutants would have been addressed and two, I fail to see when it was released had anything to do with whether this ending up being a setup for a meta dong joke was a stupid decision or not. I think you vastly underestimate the popularity of Evan Peters' Quicksliver in the X-Men franchise, outside of Jackson's Wolverine he may be the most popular thing about that franchise. Even if it came at the end and mutants had been addressed this would have been received poorly. Even people praising the series have said this was a huge miscalculation if there isn't a bigger payoff.
As I said before replace EP with Hugh Jackman and have him end up being a meta joke and tell me the backlash wouldn't be pretty bad.
