Maybe technomancy requires you to be a scientific crank. Maybe it only works if you buy into some kind of nonsensical pseudoscience that "explains" all the wacky stuff you can do.

That way, you can have someone who doesn't believe in magic, but does believe in and practice something very similar.

Oh, I like that. You get delightful conversations of 'that makes no sense' vs "it works, so clearly it does" and ethical problems of how to respond to mundanes who want to use the technomancy but can't - frex a Technomancer could use a homeopathic vaccine, and have it work: but a mortal copying them is just endangering herd immunity.
