IMO these are just shitty examples.

Harry Partch - 2 Studies on Ancient Greek Scales is amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6IinoChSVA

There is also an acquired taste for non-standard tunings like the taste for beer. Some beers though are just bad.

That's not a fair or relevant comparison. The OP is about ancient Greek music: the choir is singing a song derived from very old sheet music. The link you have is contemporary music inspired by Greek tunings. It's not at all the same thing.
