You spent your entire childhood getting used to western composition (assuming that’s dominant in your area); even nursery rhymes introduce basic melodic structures and harmony, so you’re acclimated to the 12 tones with slight pitch irregularities away from equal temperament. I’d say good stuff can be made in any medium, it’s down to whether good artists are working with it. When you grow up in a culture that uses a tuning system, its a bad career move to make music outside of it. I think microtones are worth exploring for their novelty and for the exploration of different vibes, to see if there’s something cool in there that could be brought into mainstream music. I’m a musician so I probably find that more interesting than most people do.
12 tones are not arbitrary, and it's no wonder pretty much any other note system mostly fits in. Musicians all over the world mostly made the bad career move and migrated to the western note system.
There seems to be just one sort of vibe in microtonal music for me, the discomfort vibe.
From what I know, it’s about providing for the simplest harmonies between sine waves, but that doesn’t mean non-simple harmonies have no place or utility, and it’s not possible to experiment with them in normal tuning.
You don't need to get used to Bach (or so I think), you know the good stuff on sight.
