Sure, and that's why I used the wording most application domains.

If you take a look at
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.22418
it is difficult to draw any boundaries because a dice is rolled at so many stages. Unpredictability is acknowledged but unreliable probabilistic verification is done; requirements and specifications are prompted on the fly in response to unpredictable outputs; debugging is psychologically stochastic too and deterministic tools are used for trying to control stochastic outputs; and so forth and so on.
