I will agree insofar as webdev seems to proliferate use of magic. ASP.NET core also uses a ton of it, which I hate as well. I'm not sure why that one particular area draws the people who love magic for their tooling, but it at least partly explains why I wish I could just hide in a backend hole and avoid 90% of it (Dependency Injection can be very full of magic as well but that's another tech tool I wish would go away).
