And this is why cryptography has increasingly reduced its reliance on randomness. Strong CSPRNG that only need a single seed to be secure, signing constructions that use deterministic hashes, deterministic derived keys, DAE-secure ciphers that fail-safe when IVs are re-used, etc.

Randomness is definitely something we took for granted for too long.
