There's a big difference between "the pcs rarely interact with magic" and "the peasants rarely interact with magic."
The latter, I would say, is barely relevant to how the game plays out. The former is a seismic shift from how 5e DnD is presented.
I both agree and disagree.
Yes, there is a big difference between the two. However, you really would notice it if the PCs are one of the only groups of people without magic. A world full of peasants with access to magic is going to play very very differently than one where the players are the only ones able to break the laws of physics over their knees.
But I think the larger point is about how the world works and reacts, and in that vein, it matters if you are telling the story from a perspective of a team without magic in a magical world, or all the other combinations.
