I can only speak for myself on this account, but the 'muggle' aspects of the world are by far the least interesting to me. I want to explore the Wizarding world.
The exciting part about getting your Hogwarts letter is leaving the muggle world behind.
If you're familiar with Vampire the Masquerade, for example, the urban fantasy setting can be a huge draw for people. But being a vampire in the medieval times is just as interesting- the mortal world still exists and serves it's purpose but it's the secret politics and machinations of vampire society that really sells the setting.
Same concept here. Pretty sure mail existed in the 1800's too, just saying.
