Other than communication devices in Closed Circle settings, the trope is explicitly about super powers. If they don't have super powers, there's no trope.

I wouldn't call them "power". It's out of SBP's scope.
I would at least call it Deus Exit Machina.

For example, if you had a work that was a Lifetime Movie of the Week or A Hallmark Production, or a Period Piece set during Turn of the Millennium, what sort of things in a "realistic" environment could be seen as a Story-Breaker Power, other than telephones/internet?
Other than the items listed on Story-Breaker Power which wouldn't fit the setting anyway?
Could a government be a Story-Breaker Power or political things?
Interested in the more mundane usages of this trope, since I haven't found examples yet, but don't want to just put it down as a ZCE.
Is this too rare to trope, especially in a more realistic setting like Breaking Bad or Law & Order: Special Victims Unit etc.?
