Main problem with Ottoman mages is that...well, they got dissolved and most likely, killed.
For example, when the Technocracy was getting created, Ottoman Technocrats basically fell to infighting.
And because Traditions are losers, they also didn't try to take their place because "imperialism reeeee", only Taftani was truly supporting them and even if they are cool and powerful, they are few and honestly, they are straight up savages, not really helpful to keeping the Empire alive.
