what would they have a problem with…?
Someone PICKING high stats rather than rolling high stats. It's not a problem with high stats. If I were in a game and rolled as 12's and you rolled all 18's, I wouldn't care in the least. If I rolled all 12's and you just picked all 18's, I would have a major problem with it.

That’s bizarre to me. It’s the exact same result.

Not even close. It's not about high stats at all. You've never heard the well known phrase, "It's not about the destination, it's about the journey?" Only one of those methods feels like cheating to a lot of us. I'm plenty fine with high stats resulting from the journey of rolling. I'm not at all fine with high stats(or any stats) that result from the journey of just pick whatever stats you feel like.
