You keep insisting that the trope is employed in Touhou as if magic everywhere else has vanished and Gensokyo is the last refuge of magic entirely--in other words, you\\\'re pushing the exact same opinions you held in defense of all those {{Fanon}} theories earlier.
But you\\\'re wrong from the get-go. For one thing, Touhou\\\'s setting includes other magical beings and locations outside of Gensokyo which make it clear that magic in the Touhou universe isn\\\'t \\\'\\\'dead\\\'\\\' (ref: the Lunar Capital, for one). And, again, if Gensokyo really was the last refuge for magic and no magical creature could function outside it, then there wouldn\\\'t be canon statements mentioning that humans from the outside are kidnapped by youkai (which, again, I had linked to in the prior discussion).
Furthermore, you\\\'ve contradicted yourself; you\\\'ve just said that ZUN would need to have stated Gensokyo\\\'s use as a justification in an interview, while claiming earlier that ZUN retroactively made Gensokyo into the effect of the magic going away. Yet you think retroactive continuity or revisions precludes Gensokyo being used as a \\\"justification\\\" from a real world perspective.
A {{Revision}} or RetCon intended to turn a setting, event, or character into a \\\"justification\\\" for the lack of something in the real world is a valid method of playing with a trope. TropesAreTools; don\\\'t forget that.
