Yes there was a LOT of magic items but the people who used them were implied to be few & far between. The populace was mostly neutral dirty peasants growing turnips and didn't give much of a s--- about anything beyond their borders. There were no 'adventurers' just mercenaries, tomb robbers, plunderers, cultists & questers. You had an evil & extremely decadent Roman Empire, a city state of Devil worshippers, a nation of a---- martial artists, the most powerful wizards of the planet were an Illuminati that observed more than it acted and then you an actual Demigod who couldn't be sent back to his home plane because this WAS his home plane. Also, all the classic 1st edition modules were Greyhawk. Forgotten Realms was clean, pretty, every tavern was owned by a retired 8th level fighter who kept his +2 short sword under the bar, there was a secret society of handsome & beautiful do-gooders and the most prominent wizard on the planet was a busybody who sent low levels on 'quests' he could have do himself, people actually CALLED themselves 'adventurers' and it was an occupation unto itself. Most of the populace was LG or NG, and middle class commoners outnumbered peasants. Also they had printing presses and apparently dentists since everybody smiles with a full set of pearly teeth. They are two flavors and it's up to you to decide which one you like.

inconsistent competence

Every D&D campaign I've ever played in has been marked by the players' inability to perform simple tasks. The party can't so much as buy sandwiches without seducing a goat, killing the mayor, opening a portal to hell in the and town square. Then initiative is rolled and suddenly they're a flawless death squad that could kilI God.
