Worry not it was only used by Avatar Kyoshi to stop aging herself. She can't bone bend others(It was limitation).

Blood bending was already scary enough

It's funny, but not at all realistic. To pull his skeleton out it would need to have an opposing force pulling on his skin and muscles. That's why the comics showed Magneto turning his adamantium to a plasma state and (quite painfully) ripping it out through the pores of his skin.

Couldn't he just change the skeleton to be sharp at the front and then pull forcefully?

Adamantium gets really sharp.

Magneto could easily pull a razor blade through a pineapple and not have the pineapple move.

It would be like the razor blade starting in the pineapple

Enough force and sharpness, wolverine's body wouldn't move at all. Slice through everything like jello.

Imagine a baseball going through a jello cube. At some speed (since you can't change the mass of the baseball) the baseball would theoretically clear out a perfect baseball size hole and leave the jello cube perfectly stationary.

It could be like shooting a bullet through it. There's not much disturbance of the entire jello cube.

A blunt skeleton would theoretically just throw out big chunks of skin ahead of the skeleton. Kind of like picture.

The real question is how much force can magneto create

Magneto slowly pushes a coin into Shaw's head. Low speed = less force. Coin small and blunt. Magneto has to be able to create a ton of force.
