Well it appears they know something about Electromagnetism as Rukodiora parts mention that they know its using electricity to power its magnetic abilitys and it seems they are adding some Fronter monsters?

They have been using alot of electric powered weapons since MHFU drills, chainsaws and even ancient drills that require electricity to repower. I agree they possibly don't know the law behind alot of these weapons since they get alot from their ancient lost technology (Especially Fatalis weapons) but the chainsaws are smith made desighns.

Anyway the royal capital can possibly be modern by our standards though according to old MH official info they are very full of them selves and leave the people that are not rich outside the safe city walls so yeah they are jerks. And we have no idea if they use modern electricity yet or not there. I have yet to see a "Nice/Friendly/Not Rude" royal request in MH I can remember.

The light bulb was invented but it was not sold world wide in a year afterall. Even if they have access to electromagnetism doesn't meen they gonna make it public within the first years.

Oh and most MH scientists are mostly Wyverians and they are very very picky on technology uses making sure they don't kill their ecosystem since according to official info they care for greatly. And the Hunters Guild is like a Human and Wyverian controled government so I have no idea what all their laws are but I know it can be as aggressive as death penalty to poaching or illegal rare/endangered species hunting without telling the hunters guild.

So it seems they may have it and they may not I have no idea but it seem some know it exists.

The Jet Ski could be some more lost tech they don't understand also.
