If I finish my first play through and decide I want to do another run but with a character who has rolled decently high numbers for all ability scores, why shouldn't I be able to?

Thank God we have somebody here representing for multiplayer amongst all you singled player weirdos. (kidding)

But seriously this is a huge issue with Multiplayer where some fair system of stat buying would be preferable to having people waiting for everybody to get that 'perfect' roll.

Either that or limit the re-rolls in multiplayer and then do stat buy. The multiplayer aspect of Bg3 is quite robust and I see it blowing up once we get 1.0 going and when Larian decides to make bg3 a platform with DM mode.

I don't care what people do in single player frankly, personally fine with letting people go with all 18's, or even 20s. Its not good for you but you are only ruining your own game. People going to mod that crap anyway, at least in multiplayer we can decide what mods we allow so we can act as a kind of self policing system to prevent that crap.
