Typo? Did you mean s/that it a/that it is not a/ ? edit: given stan_rogers' comment bellow and a direct communication with nemo1618 the typo is just the missing "is". The sentence should read: "doesn't make it clear that it is a trusted service."

No. The idea is that you use their service as opposed to running something on your own machine, which eliminates you as a nefarious source of hanky-panky. Think about running their list randomizer to pick one or more names from, say, a list of raffle entrants. The "trust" isn't that the result is going to be cryptographically random or anything like that, it's just an external service you can't monkey with, which avoids accusations of cheating.
