That seems ridiculous. Wouldn't the fusion of magic and technology be much more likely? I can think of all sorts of ways that could happen, people using objects and whatnot to focus their magic power, and meanwhile runes can provide for the common people. Techs existence just causing magic to suffer critical existence failure is nonsense (People not knowing they can? alright. people suddenly being unable to cast because someone invented indoor plumbing somewhere? stupid). But, yeah a stubborn adherence to the old ways could cause magic to sputter and die like I imagine it happened the first time, but if mages and whatnot were willing to look into ways to synergise and move forward, they would be able to preserve their art. Vitamancy alone is vastly superior to all modern medicine, and almost all of the other magics are superior in their intended purpose to modern means. Just magic fading away seems like a waste.

Magic exists because of the Gods period. Recounting history, what has happened over and over when technology appears? Humans tend to forget the Gods and that is what causes the Magic to wane. And after what happened the last time they involved themselves heavily into the mundane day to day, do you honestly think the Gods would risk that again? Not to mention tech and magic together, then the very mortals basically could over take the Gods and recreate the world. Something that is not a good thing for Fate to sort out in her opinion.
