Now, in my own opinion, poor worldbuilding is likely but it's because it lacks explanation. As I put it earlier, even our world didn't have even levels of technology. However, the issue arises when the "Ye Old Citizens of Misthaven" fail to react to the strangely advanced island they found themselves in. Even a casual, "Bloody Demon Boxes are everywhere" would go a world of good.

Magic could be a reason, but I doubt it. It's likely due to it's dealing s with Pan, but even that fails to explain it. Rumple goes to Victorian England, noone really questions the lizard man beyond the brief moment of shock. Neither does he get confused by all these gadgets and gizmos to a significant degree.
