i think colonialism and capitalism are big parts of the answer, we're not at the end of history when it comes to tuning, we're living through the consequences of European instruments being spread across the globe and then being mass produced; there's few accessible avenues to do anything different

yeah it's really difficult to actually do, both our physical instruments and the MIDI standard are locked into 12-tet at a fundamental level, so the culture is kind of self replicating. I'm currently writing software to try and help musicians navigate new tuning systems to combat this!

99.99, is a big stretch, choral music, classical and barbershop all use different tunings and plenty of people from different musical cultures live in Western countries. it's a good point though, there's huge advantage to a system that everyone shares, but a lot of limitation too

but hz ratios are intervals, and they at least have the advantage of telling you something what is happening in the world - 3:2 at least tells you something is vibrating 1.5 times faster than something else. it's the same sound as C-G but the abstraction tells you less
