use we just use GetRandInt from random.h?

Might be better to do this in a separate pull request unrelated from the changes here?

meh, what's the point of a new PR just for that? Probably no-one would review it 😂 imo, it makes much more sense here

GetRandInt is either non-deterministic, or returns a constant (deterministic). Can you explain why either change makes sense? I'd say neither does and it should be left-as is.

Ahh, okay, that's a good reason :) Maybe in the future we should adjust InsecureRand32 to make it clearer that it can be deterministic
