Technically there was nothing stopping us from having levitate in Oblivion and Skyrim. Sure the advancements we've seen in Starfield will help make it look cool, but Levitate being gone is a conscious design decision. Bethesda just didn't want to design Oblivion or Skyrim (mostly Skyrim) around players being able to have that much vertical movement. It's the same reason that the (much more fun) Jump spell effect is also gone. I personally think Bethesda should just let us do it regardless though, and simply design less dungeon shortcuts around simple drop-downs.
