People have simply assumed the reason behind the disappearance to likely be related to ancient Sheikah technology and it seems there is no one who has tried to explore the matter further

Oh yeah, it's not like in-universe a bunch of nerds was absolutely obsessed with the stuff and all associated mysteries.

Look, I don't even mind if the explanation is just "we got rid of them because they're not necessary for the new story we're telling", that works for me. But if you try explaining it anyway, and that's your answer, boooo.

Agreed. They could just say that Link isn't as interested in Sheikah technology because it's no longer needed, so the game doesn't render it. It could still exist in-universe without having set pieces in the game.
