Magical scientists. Not necessarily an integration of tech and magic, but characters who actually devote their time to determining exactly how and why magic works, and aren't treated as pathetic by the narrative for it.

Basically the lack of curiosity and the frequency of people just saying "because magic" in fantasy settings pisses me off.

That's because they were a half-assed addition to the world building roughly 30 years into an established franchise, not because setting up magic that functions along learnable, understandable rules and then having characters go out and actively work to learn and understand those rules is inherently doomed to fail.
