Third mages don't get silk sheets and we never see what they eat. They could eat like kings or they could very well be feed slop that has just enough nutritional value to keep them alive but weak. We don't know.
Fourth it is the Chantry that blocks technological development not the mages. Mages are hardly let out of the tower where they can actually do some good in the world. The Chantry sees some advancements in the same light as the mages. An affront or sin. Also in DD:A we seen that there have been explosives invented, by an insane dwarf(who was funny as hell) who later got chased by the Qunari because they didn't want anyone else beside them having explosives. So they are also blocking technological development for the rest of Thedas as well.
And lastly please for the love of God when you want to post something please write in on Word first. It will correct your grammer. Which needs a lot of help. Like I said before it takes me forever to decipher what you wrote.
3. Wynne mentions that the tranquil make ales with a variety of spices. Going off that, I doubt they eat modestly like the chantry sisters do (Which according to Leliana is biscuits and lightly boiled/steam vegetables). While it's unlikely they have silk sheets and candied grapes, you cannot deny that they are treated much better compared to the normal people of Thedas. And for what reason? Because of what they were born with.
4. It's because anytime the mages are let out of the tower, someone screws them over. See Anders. They used to have exercises outside the tower, to get some sun and what not, but had to cancel them because Anders kept using it as an opportunity to escape. (I will admit this is the Fereldan circle, which is usually considered the more lenient ones, but the point still stands.)
The chantry blocks magical developments, not technological. Thedas lacks in technological advancements because they have become reliant on magic, unlike the dwarves and qunari.
Magic (Or the laziness of it) is what is stopping technological development in Thedas. (Why should I invent X when magic can do it already?) Not the chantry.
5. Good luck with that, he's been that way for months.
