Equal temperament, where all the keys have basically the same intervals rather than having different characters as in just intonation. Enabled modulation from one key to another as in Bach and Jazz.
A few modern production techniques come close, but I agree, equal temperament tuning was a game changer. It allowed "anyone" to transpose "any" piece of music into "any" key, broadening the available instruments for a piece.
Plus drop D tuning would be impossible without it.
