Escaping the matrix of the Western tonal system

Almost all the music we listen to in general, regardless of the genre, is based on the familiar 12-note temperament tonal system. If we go beyond Western music, we find the Arabic system of 24 equally temperamented notes, or lesser-known systems globally, such as the Indonesian gamelan (5 equally temperamented notes).

In general, for someone who only listens to Western music, it's likely that when listening to these types of tonal systems, they will "sound bad" or "out of tune."

So my question is: does the music tuned in an alternative frequency system sound bad to us because we're used to the tonal system, or because it actually sounds bad? More technically, is the 12-note system, in terms of how we perceive music, unsurpassed compared to other frequency systems, or are we simply used to hearing it?

In my case, since I like to listen to sounds that are completely different from the typical ones, I've tried many times to break away from typical tonal systems, but although I'd like to think otherwise, I'm generally not convinced, although I don't give up. Systems like 17 ET, 31 ET, or just intonation are the ones I've seen tested the most. These two channels make very good attempts at making this music sound relatively good:

Aside from the question, I'd like to know if you find this type of "temperally alternative" music appealing, whether you're familiar with these tuning systems or not.
