That's a nice theory. In reality, VMs have no innate source of randomness and call into their hypervisor for that sweet sweet entropy - just as they ask hypervisors to map hardware into their address space, which drivers then proceed to innately trust.
This improves the situation by an infinitesimally small amount.
