Because the Sanctists - that'd be the church - have been trying to suppress the use of true magic for a long time. We only learned this recently, but they're the reason the eldan tribe has been treated so poorly to the point of nonexistence, because the use of true magic connects back to the history of our world, which they've kept hidden.
[ in short it's the government ]
And - anyone can use them, really. It's just that the methods of how to were kept secret. I believe, though, we were able to initially access it because of His Highness, who is an elda.

Because they consider it heretical, but it's more than that. Power underneath it; the Sanctifex, their leader, despised the elda because he wanted to take over the throne and consolidate power, and the King had an eldan heir.
Just the usual. Those in power attempting to crush those who think differently, or those who try to stop them. [ he sounds annoyed at that because. he is, even if the issue itself is a little more complicated. mostly it's because the sanctifex fucking sucks. ]
