For reasons you described that is why I’m picky about magical realism. So far the only series that I think have addressed the issue well have been The Dresden Files and the Harry Potter series.

What ruins my suspension of belief is when authors do such terrible research into widely accessible information. Like first aid, basic emergency medicine, basic firearm safety, fundamental urban combat movement, etc… all of these are easy to find and easy to portray correctly. But too many times authors just phone things like that in. The example that comes to mind of some of the most egregious lack of research in those regards is “Dark Matter” by Blake Crouch.
