I’m not a Trekkie, but I see this mentality a lot in fantasy settings. “Why would there be wheel chair users when a simple healing spell would cure it?” 🙄
There’s always the way to rationize that a medical problem can’t be fixed because of individual traits - for example, in the Wrath of Khan, Kirk needs reading glasses because he’s allergic to the drug they normally use to treat vision problems.

Yeah, whenever people can’t think of things like this it’s so unimaginative. Like, heaven forbid the magic be not that simple or something.
