I guess the main benefit is clothes will potentially fit better, but isn’t the fabric still gonna be likely sourced from a sweatshop country? And isn’t it going to result in a lot of waste fabric as I cut out a template?

There are quality fabrics still manufactured but they are not often used in mass production of garments.

Any garment production requires scrap fabric. However a crafts person can repurpose and use those scraps where as a factory will just discard them. Also a huge amount of the waste in fast fashion in over production of products that don't even sell and never get used before going to a landfill.
