This mistake belies your intelligence and explains why your understanding is so limited.
Microtones exist everywhere - they are in vibrato, they are in glissandi. They are in all traditional musics, especially prevalent in those that don't adhere to 12TET like Indonesian Gamelan music.
Ian White
You mean movie score composers?
Carter Wright
ligeti writes loads of tonal stuff, his piano etudes e.g.
Tyler Stewart
Movie composers are usually specialists. They don't really write for the concert hall, although sometimes very successful ones will arrange their pieces for the concert hall and give concerts.
Likewise concert hall composers will occasionally do movie scores, but these 2 exceptions are not the norm, generally movie composers write for movies, while concert hall composers write for the concert hall.
New compositions from the last 2 years:

Notice how film scores are not generally included
Lincoln Kelly
Contemporary composers who write minimalism are dwindling, it's not a major style these days and there are almost no atonal composers. There are plenty of composers doing a wide range of things with classical but if all you do is sniff your own farts and complain everything is shit these days then you will not hear them.
Brandon Jenkins
It's been almost a century and people still can't fathom the idea of atonal music. What honor must it have been for Schoenberg and the second Viennese school to leave such a legacy. There's at least one long tirade against atonality in every YouTube comment section. And you would think classical music listeners would've been more appreciative.
Austin Clark
Cameron Nelson
Brendan Byrnes
Wyatt Price
Wolfgang Rihm, Richard Einhorn, Julian Anderson, the list goes on....
Nolan Green
Most people are dumb retards who listen to mozart because it sounds pretty and can't grasp anything deeper than that, it's no surprise, really.
David Allen

Jayden Davis

That's not what microtonal music means.
