Mouthpieces aren't standardized enough and players' expectations aren't predictable enough to make a truly perfect-out-of-the-box reed a reasonable goal. You do want reeds that are made from cane that's vibrant and profiled in a way that will be within a small amount of adjustment for a large number of players. Most of us wish for a reed that doesn't need a lot of reshaping, because every time you take a little wood out of the profile, you risk making a mistake. So you want to have take as few opportunities for mistakes as possible.

That said, if a player is doing a lot of scraping and is reshaping the profile in significant ways in order to get a reed to play comfortably, he's probably starting with the wrong reed. That's the best reason for the existence of so many brands and models within brands. Each is designed with different parameters and a player who experiments enough should be able to find one that comes close to what he needs.
