You already can, check out Marble/World Labs, Meshy, and others.

It's not really as much of a boon as you'd think though, since throwing together a 3D model is not the bottleneck to making a sellable video game. You've had model marketplaces for a long time now.

It definitely is. Model marketplaces don’t have ready to go custom models for a custom game. You have to pay a real person a significant amount of money for 100s of a models a truly custom game requires.
