It may be easy enough to describe negative root numbers (imaginary is misleading) with algebra, but they have quite the bit of use in mid-level calculus. Past that, well, I'm not there yet. Fourier transformation ftw.

Yes, but most people don't have a need for mid-level calculus, it just doesn't help with anything they do, so to the vast majority of the population complex numbers are not at all useful.
