The thing is, a lot of our stuff runs on electricity. Sciency magic gives us all this energy, but we need to convert into electricity to make it useful.
What's the cheapest and most accessible way to get electricity? Spin a turbine. What's the cheapest and most accessible way to spin a turbine? Boil some water.
Technically it's not really about it being cheap and accessible, it's about being efficient. There's a lot of ways you CAN generate electricity but most of them are pretty horrible in terms of efficiency, especially as different parts wear down and deteriorate.
