"ensemble playing, among other things, requires good intonation. Those with perfect pitch recognize this easier and can blend in with the ensemble better"You have presented no evidence, nor am I aware of any, that this is true. Given that the overwhelming majority of fine musicians do not have perfect pitch and still play commendably in tune, it is an irrelevancy. It is of no practical value in terms of playing in tune.
I've only been a professional orchestral musician for 30 years, and a student orchestral musician for 10 before that, so I bow to your superior knowledge. ;-)
