Coming up in the Instrumental Music program in public schools in Tulsa, Oklahoma a few decades ago, I had a well rounded education in Band & Orchestra Music written in various meters, including many works which have frequent changes of meter during &/or throughout the work.   
Certainly, in college, I not only played, but sang pieces written by 20th century composers with changing meters. Some of those songs & pieces are considered standard literature given to University students. In my many years of teaching Music, in the classroom & privately, I have often found that the average American is totally unaware of any meter other than 4/4 or 3/4, and often refuses to listen to, much less play, Music in 5, 7, 9, etc. Music Educators whom I have met from many other countries have told me that they have not had this experience to the extreme that I have.
There are probably many reasons why. I think that our American popular Music, and the change of focus in our schools--especially after "Johnny can't read"--to no longer value a good Music Education, & of course budget cuts(the Arts are always cut first) would be the biggest part of this.
In many indigenous cultures, including those of the Americas, Music can have odd &/or changing meter. Some of you may have a copy of "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" sitting on a shelf somewhere, which I seem to recall having a few examples of songs sung by certain well known Chiefs & Medicine Men which were written down as sung, in odd & sometimes changing meters. (please forgive me if my memory is incorrect & it was not this book!)
Our early Jazz in America shows evidence of many terrific composers who enjoyed "odd" as opposed to even meters. (Not just Take Five or Unsquare Dance, although I've always enjoyed those tunes.) Early on, Jazz was put down by many as the work of the "devil," and when it began to be embraced by the general populous, those odd meters did not fit dancing, & record companies for artists of all popular Music genres didn't want to waste money recording tunes & songs which didn't appeal to the masses--ie, that didn't rake in the dough!
But, het--be daring! Give a listen to odd meters. Better yet, play some tunes with odd meters. You never know, you might even enjoy it.
