No.
If magic links only log you in on the device you click them on, they prevent a lot of phishing attacks.
With a setup like that, there's literally no way to impersonate your website and steal user credentials.
This comes at a cost of making logins on public computers less secure, and which of these is more important should be weighed on a service-by-service basis.
A website for making presentations should obviously choose "more phishing and easier to use on public computers", a service for managing your employees' HR records should obviously choose the opposite.
