Yes.
By going custom, you get your preference for all three. That would certainly be one reason for going custom, whether from a boutique builder or "custom shop" from a bigger manufacturer. If you truly can't find the combination you're looking for in a production instrument, that would be a reason to go custom.
Other reasons are more personal. Maybe you just want an aesthetic that can't be bought off the shelf. Maybe there is a builder who makes guitars with tone you love. And, let's face it, sometimes there's an element of "just because you can".
