The uncertainty principle is just a really misunderstood concept because it was first discovered in the context of quantum physics (Heisenberg 1927) and only later (Gabor 1946) the underlying mathematical principle that causes it was discovered. It has nothing to do with measurement, knowledge, randomness or even our physical reality at all. It is a much more fundamental mathematical phenomenon [0] that always occurs when you switch representation between time and frequency domains and it tells you how you can arrange information in such mixed representations.
