No matter how well controlled the processes of cutting and sorting become, there will be players who aren't comfortable with the result. Their playing approaches and their mouthpieces will mean that the manufactured result isn't optimal for them.

One of the main problems with synthetic reeds, apart from tone quality, is that most aren't easily adjustable. I know one synthetic that's made from actual pulverized cane and a synthetic binder is claimed to be workable in the same ways as cane, but my experience differed. I know Bob Bernardo has written about his approach to adjusting Legeres, but when I've tried I've ended up with a mess. We'll never have standardized mouthpieces or players, so I doubt there will ever be a reed that doesn't need to be adjusted to suit some players. Consistent or not, they'll never suit everyone.
