I think a lot of it is that the Shire isn't really based on Europe, it's based on the English countryside through a very Merrie Olde England frame (and similarly hobbits are pretty much straight-up idealized rural English types with a bit of whimsy). And that's a construct that is perfectly compatible with tobacco and clocks and potatoes and all that kind of thing.

a mythologized version of a specific area within Europe during a period that included the medieval period but also continued after it
