Technology vs. Magic BS

I cannot by into game cosmologies which pit technology and magic against one other. Now, it's one thing to say that magic interferes with electronics (because magnets and EMPs do that) or that magic attracts gremlins who like to screw up machinery, but that's not how it's worded. Rather, the statement is framed to indicate that technology (without any qualifier) is incompatible with magic. But fire is a technology. So are levers, the wheel (a type of level), pottery, written language, eyeglasses, and flatware. Magic, as used by the vast majority of games, movies, novels, comics, etc., is a technology--the tools and means of getting things done. Not only can they co-exist, but they are the same thing. Any sufficiently mundane use of magic is indistinguishable from technology.
