The magic was the talented crew, which they laughed about while snorting crack off hookers in the executive lounge, before purposely destroying their entire way of life. Now there are no more such talented crews to polish turds til they shine like gold.
Where's deeper to go? When assholes get authority they always think their success is a result of their talents alone, and end up mistreating those who are actually doing the legwork to make their vision into an actual, practical, thing.
Just like how the assholes running all of society thought they could ditch the people who actually made it, and keep the rest, only to find the rest of it collapsing without that talent they abandoned.
Basically, Blade Runner and Alien were George Lucas type scenarios where the prima donna director was basically the least important part of the production.
