It's all frame of reference. I choose the relevant frame of reference to be that of the characters in the setting.Certainly, a fantastical setting comes with fantistical phenomena.
The surprise happens if defining a Fighter class as "nonmagical". Then it does magical things. To claim something is fantastical but isnt magical becomes confusing even nonsensical semantics.
The flavor of the Fighter class needs to make clear, this is a magical warrior that can achieve impossible effects.
For the fighter jumping chasms, do they or their peers recognize such a feat as being magical..or is it just something they've done enough mundane training to accomplish (or eaten enough fantasy Wheaties, or whatever other set of mundane-for-the-setting activities led them to this capability)?
Edit: Separately, the PHB does not actually claim that the fighter is non-magical. It doesn't claim that they are magical. But.. it does ask the player to consider "what sets the apart from the mundane warriors around them"
