I do agree with you: bringing magic back to Camelot should not be a forced process. Neither should the decision to bring it back be rushed. But the funny thing here is that Merlin actually tried to force Arthur to bring back magic in 4x03. So it could have been forced even back then. Arthur is definitely sure that not all magic is bad, but he clearly is not on board with actually allowing it in his kingdom. I just think the conditions were not right to make such a decision: it should be based on free will, and therefore, it cannot be made before towards the end of the Series, if not even later.
