if you're gonna subsume it and lead it to another key/root chord, the tonality isn't really that appealing, at least to somebody who's already used to the "normal" tonality

not really, a lot of music makes use of elements from closely related keys and the relative minor that the untrained ear has no problem with. The more distant regions may leave the average listener a little stumped but sacrificing creativity for a wider audience isn't always a good thing.
