How confident are you that when you create a new UUID, it won't collide with one of your existing ones? My guess is that even though you don't get the same on every time, you're extremely confident that getting a duplicate is a extemely rare edge case that might happen in large volume but mostly isn't a concern, and furthermore, I'm guessing you understand that the risk can still be quantified.
Casinos can't make slot machines that literally never pay out, but it's a different result every time you pull the lever. We have existing legal frameworks for how to regulate things that aren't perfectly predictable (an economist might argue that if it were possible to predict slot machines then casinos with them would all go out of business).
