I think that this is the dichotomy between "classical" (or Dennis's
"non-pop") music and pop/jazz music.
In a string quartet or a recorder consort or a brass quintet or
orchestra, I agree with Johannes that it would lead to confusion.
Case in point: Some years back I was coaching a student recorder
consort (and playing tenor with them). I didn't realize how well I
had coached them to adjust their intonation to pure intervals until
we decided to try a 20th century trio, and nothing worked! The music
required equal temperament, and we had to make a real effort to
adjust our pitches. Good lesson for us all.
