I fucking hate this meme, published campaigns have their place but they are not better, and often times are worse, than homebrewed campaigns because they are not fitted to the players
As you said they have their place. I don't think every campaign had to be 100% customized to the players. Twinkle the banished necromancer doesn't belong in Waterdeep Dragon Heist, but the player can make a character that would fit within that setting.
If you want it 100% then you can jam a character peice into a campaign puzzle if you really want to. It just requires work.
