Cause those types are also the kind to sperg about wizards needing to be gods or over how literally every form of human study and invention should be considered supernatural in some form, so they're equally as worthless to such a discussion. If they did it like how it was historically, most people would whine that wizards are boring, since a bunch of old fucks and monks studying ancient Hellenistic texts and getting into long drawn out arguments over whose translation over Biggus Dickus's daemon summoning ritual is right, mixed in with local herbalists and recluses spooking the shit out of their superstitious neighbors by shouting how they're going to get the shit cursed out of them if they don't get off their lawn already wouldn't be considered "real magic" by slobs like that.

That said, Ars Magica is probably one of the more "authentic" ways to depict magic in the given historical context out there.
