That's only true if you want to bias the use of your system toward fantasy and away from SF. Or put another way, its true in a fashion, but not in a fashion I think serves a multipurpose game well; in particular, since it has two magic systems, I suspect pulling one would have still served that audience while leaving room for at least some basic vehicular combat rules and possibly a simple spacecraft building system such as they had in Amazing Engine: Bughunters.
