Agreed. Although as you point out, the singers being unaccompanied is important. Mixing keyed (or fretted, valved etc.) instruments into the ensemble quickly starts to push everyone towards 12-EDO. I also wonder how much continuous pitch instruments do this, when playing pieces of music and with ensembles that would allow adjusting to just intonation. If I walk up to a good violinist and ask them to play a simple melody on a single string, do they gravitate towards just intonation, or does muscle memory make them place their fingers for 12-EDO? What about a superbly good violinist?
