I mean it’s implied that Q is just from a super advanced civilisation, rather than being innately magic. One of the first things we learn from Q is that he believes humanity has a chance of being a society that will some day be on the same level as them.
IMO the Q are presented as more of a Clarke’s Third Law (“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”) kinda thing. Think about how the Mintakans view Picard in the episode Who Watches the Watchers - they view him as being a magical, god-like being
The Force in Star Wars is never presented that way.
As opposed to Q?
