Masks make sense the same way mega-print runs with similar fixed plates / other high yield copy operations make sense.
Offhand I'm not aware of a chip fab tech similar to the Laser Printer, not in a literal laser used to print but in a 'low run of tolerable quality' approach. The equivalent to a small print shop locally that has a medium-small range printer that does not use masks but churns out at high quality and speed.
