Lol, i'm aware that no one is not "supposed" to view the blues this way. Non the less... I think i made "a point" for a simple I-->IV--->V progression, no? ;-)
If there are any others ways to see this, pls explain :-)!

You are right, it's not from the key, but listen to it and you'll hear how much more harmonic pull it creates.
A7 is not a key change to D minor, but look at the progression. The next chord is D minor, which is a fourth away.
That's why it works. Look at the last progression E7 A7 D7 G7, play it and listen to it. Then look at the cycle of fourths and you will see it moves clockwise. I think that will explain to you why a chord can be made dominant when the next chord is a fourth away.

I "think" your pov is from a modal standpoint.
When a chord is II7. That means it's NOT diatonically correct (and yes i stand by that statement, every diatonic scale is still part from a major or a minor scale. Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian. Whenever we set a scale as a mode, then those notes can still be "related to the major scale or the minor". Even if we are playing in a mode that is NOT major or minor. At this point i'm not talking jazz btw! So think simple songs.
However when we use a more "exotic" scale, let's say harmonic minor. Then u have a different story. And i THINK that that's your pov.
Correct me if i'm wrong. Because i'm still learning :-).
