It's weirdly impressive that you still find wide, systemic misuse of random number generators in professional products. But maybe un-use is a better term for not using one where appropriate. In a Def Con talk Dan Kaminsky described it in a slide as "a drop will do ya". Where even a half assed attempted at using a csprng will result in something that will resist all but very well resourced attackers. Also see OpenBSD who have been banging this drum for probably 10-15 years now.
