"I'm not even going to go into the fact that this isn't even the original universe. It's just one the millions that has been created over the years which suggests that original universe was probably ours"

Actually that would be a good explanation for why there are so many weirdo alternate history divergence points from ours, other then the presence of real, reliable magic powers (bleeding into major religious sects who in turn influence modern-governments the world over) and the establishment of something like Academy City.

the fact is that the earth, the solar system and likely the whole universe itself has already been altered by powerful reality-warpers many many many times before we get to actually see the main canon events (be it novels, manga or anime), it's basically Earth V10000.00 remake at this point.
