No, that's not it. The problem is that plain "fighter type" characters have much more limited options (in combat, principally) than magic-using ones.

OK, they could learn dancing and/or etiquette, but that doesn't give their players more interesting things to do when a melee breaks out...

Settings like Glorantha solve this by allowing everyone to do magic. But that's not suitable for every setting, and not to everyone's taste.
