Many string players tune their perfect fifths a bit small so that 
they’re near to equal temperament (700 ct) or even smaller instead of 
just (702 ct).

They could, yes. But I think that most intonation in choir and orchestra 
is not just intonation but more or less an approximation; for example 
leading notes are often played higher than just because they have more 
of the leading character then. And just intonation has other problems 
that make it impractical.

Why should it? Just intonation works in every key.
