That's kinda an element of Arcanum magic is a science and technology in Arcanum is in many ways a form of magic. They are simply two different sciences that are largely mutually exclusive, also it's part of a larger meta commentary of progress vs traditions as well as a critique on capitalism. Also it was made by alumni from Interplay most of whom worked on the original Fallout, gotta love Troika games they only ever made three but Arcanum, The Temple of Elemental Evil, and Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines are damned good ones.
