Yes
Any setting with magic should be an amazing place to live but they are usually depicted as shitholes, like Phantasia is, because the characters in a world with magic rarely show any desire to understand magic or it is not allowed to do it for religious reasons... and basic survivor reason since if magic was understood and everyone were to use magic the existence of a society would be mostly impossible as at any time anyone could just blow up the city or something like that.
What you said is valid as long as you are talking about the few elite and demon-worshippers because we see during the story that most places does not follow such idealized view, vide the battle with the plague dragon as example.
Yes, that's the thing though.The medieval shithole where basically no medical condition cannot be fixed with a spell, and have teleportation for fast travel?
Just tell them how to build a runic dwarven sewer system and is basically paradise.
Also this doesn't apply exclusively to medieval settings. Is basically one of the endings in cyberpunk 2077, but without the suicide.
