The premise of the conversation is "what happens when magic items are rare."
So, they aren`t neccesarily easier to aquire than feats. Feat aquisition is
regular and you can plan on it. Magic aquisition is irregular and you
cannot rely on ever finding anything. The more rare magic is, the more this
becomes an expectation of finding no magic.

If I take magic away from players, there is nothing preventing me from
beefing up higher level (10-20th level) feats to compensate. The result is
a more mundane, though no less fantastic setting. I could create or adjust
prerequisites to replace magic, and do it well so long as I look to balance
the power and potency of PC`s vs opponants.

This is exactly what d20 modern does, creating a based defense bonus
(based on class levels) to AC, and talent trees which add damage,
penetrate DR, and all other kinds of things.
