Rolled stats.
Yea, but not all games use rolled stats.

Are you in aposition to make that call or is this AL?
RAW you're allowed to roll.
I'm rarely in a position to choose stat generation method. Typically that decision is DM driven.
Has no bearing on my campaign, does it yours?
I let my players decide. They can roll, point buy or array.
Your DMs not following RAW. You could ask to roll I suppose but that ruling is in houserule territory.
Only rule about rolling is you do it in front of me.
Right. You allow them to do that, not RAW.
Do you always follow RAW for everything? If not then it's really not this golden standard that you are setting it up as.
Isn't that a house rule as well?
PHB rule. You can roll or array. Point buy is ask DM.
You want to play a concept and your DMs not allowing an option that's RAW enables it.
Some things like races are optional. If you're in houserule territory it's anything goes or whatever you can convince the DM of.
Online you kinda have to go with RAW just for a common point of reference.
So what?
That's not really the case. Having a campaign specific way of generating stats doesn't imply it's anything goes. I mean it just doesn't logically follow.
There are many common houserules of which 1 is not allowing rolled stats. Many players and DM's swear by that methodology. There's no issue with taking into account common houserules when talking about a common point of reference.
