Depends on your setting and how magic works, I suppose. You can sidestep that by putting limitations on magic: innate ability, skill, limitations on power, etc. Or experimenting with magic is dangerous/difficult, and culturally mages jealously guard their discoveries -- whereas mundane tech encourages collaboration and is easy to reverse engineer.
