I think that is the point, with Alexandria being from another world, way more advanced. I hope we do see the contrast explored in the future with Alexandrians actually venturing in Etheirys.

Final Fantasy as a whole (franchise) rarely has a title without a component, usually late game, being in an advanced setting.
