It would indeed, but the costs wouldn't make it viable. Spend that same money funding every other effort planetary scientists want to do for years to come. They'll learn far more from those efforts than from the one very expensive probe.

Would they "learn far more"? I am not a xenogeologist or astrophysicist, but landing a probe on a rogue planet seems like a shortcut to visiting another star system.
