You're looking for "pseudorandom", not truly random. True randomness is an unnecessary and unrealistic bar to impose for typical cryptographic purposes. Not only is using true randomness more computationally and logistically expensive, it's difficult to implement correctly and safely. If you have a CSPRNG with sufficient pseudorandomness, it's more important to secure and optimize other parts of the system than it is to get stuck in local maxima with randomness fetishization.
