Western visualization of magic is usually wavy fluid. Eastern visualization of magic is usually geometric. You can see in Avengers how Dr Strange learned Eastern magic so he uses rigid symbols for time distortion.

Huh, that's a fascinating observation. Though fuzzy at the edges. Western magic has things like pentagrams and other symbols etc drawn in wicca. Eastern magic has flow-like notions in chi or kundalini.

Technology allowed us to jumpcut space. Walk into elevator/plane/etc doors open bing new world. Nothing allows us to jumpcut time. Also time travel is less reversible so you need a ceremony to mark that. Counterexample is Star Trek warp speed. Trippy movement through space.

Might go back to the early visualisations of black holes and wormholes, using a 2D vortex-on-fabric analogy. Movies picked that, eventually it became a standard trope.

Maybe atavistic memories of hallucinogen-induced travels across time and space.
