I think Noble rp is so popular simply because it's what some people perceive as the most fun. I don't think it's ever a "problem" that you want to play something that's simply more fun. Also, using magic is fun. I think it's a hard sell to try and tell somewhat what fun is for them.

A "Solution", if any was really to be had, would simply be to roleplay in a setting less focused on magic. Examples would be Fremmenik roleplay, or some Knight/military roleplays. Armies still seem to be very traditional in rp these days, magic usually isn't a big part.
