I'd say dark fantasy has become worse. Though the absolute worst may be modern urban fantasy.

But wizards? What... do you just, like, THINK hard and it works?

Arcane magic in D&D is basically this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermetic_Order_of_the_Golden_Dawn

Also, there are more mechanistic explanations for how it works (depending on the setting) if you actually read the books, but that would require you to actually read the things you're complaining about, and no one does that anymore.
