That's true. My gripe is more that there's an unexplored aspect in the books with having a tuition cost for the equivalent of k-12 education. In a setting where an uneducated person can do all sorts of catastrophic things if left untrained in magic. Then there's the lack of mention of the people who can't afford tuition. The poorest people depicted, as you said areare still very comfortable.

Like you said, poverty is aesthetic and cozy.
