I'm not surprised at all. I was taught to use perfect intervals myself, and it's how I've always seen it taught. But tuning is a very interesting topic.
These days I play double bass in a jazz band, so of course every single instrument has its own tuning quirks.
An amusing anecdote: I played in a band, and the drummer complimented my intonation. I asked him how a drummer knows anything about intonation. He said: "My college major was trombone."
