My first thought was that it would work but only as a temporary fad.
However I see potential in the idea. People sharing lists of pieces to buy so certain things can be built. Contests of what you can do with the pre-made packages for beginners, veterans and experts.
But I think that you don't see this kind of thing anywhere because Lego wouldn't want to sell pieces in bulk. In the end they're pieces of plastic made by a couple bucks per ton. Selling by weight would make their product look cheap, and their $29.99 package for a TIE Fighter ridiculously expensive.
My suggestion for your idea:
Make your own elegant building blocks line to sell by weight. Start with the simple, obvious pieces and add a small bunch of custom ones for very specific purposes, targeting children. It that takes off, in no time hobbyists of all kind will jump the bandwagon, opening the doors for more custom pieces, merchandishing, blueprint books, etc.
I don't know if it's legal to sell Lego-compliant blocks, but I guess not since I don't see people doing it. (Note: I just searched, and the exact dimensions are patented; Lego has been suing anyone who makes "compatible" blocks)

I can't get it right / Get it right / Since I met you...
