Only if you have the resources to reroll for it... (Destiny)

This allows you to do basically whatever you want with your guns. You get one of an archetype you like and perks you like and now you have a perfect gun.

... If you can afford it. Players who invest more time grinding now have a distinct competitive advantage. I have no problem with that when it comes to PvE content, but it kind of ruins PvP for me.

Bungle would never sell a clown cartridge field scout surplus efrideets spear, but it is my most prized sniper rifle. An outlaw+crowd control hand cannon? Not gonna happen.

Why not? We got a hand cannon with outlaw, firefly, explosive rounds, and arc damage. We got a rocket launcher with tracking and Wolfpack rounds. And a Pulse Rifle with 3rd eye, perfect balance, and headseeker. Bungie has shown they are willing to create guns with perk combos that dominate in certain senarios.

This allows certain combinations to be good for you and your gameplay that would not have shown up in a stock gun. You can have the best possible guns for you when they are all different.

I would rather achieve that goal by designing specific guns for specific perk-selections. There should be a gun to suit any playstyle... Right now, almost every gun can suit any playstyle. It all feels pointless to me. Why would I buy a new weapon when I'm just going to reroll it to be the same as the one I already have?
