In addition, I would add that I believe people tend to overestimate the rate at which technological progression would naturally occur in Tamriel, magic aside. Considering very little advancement was made in the early stages of anatomically modern humans, and that much of our technological progression began with the Industrial Revolution and the rise of Capitalism, it is not very surprising that the inhabitants of Tamriel do not have the same rate of advancement as we do in modern times.
