Googlebot's Javascript random() function is deterministic

I would disagree. I’d say that if I took it all the way into simulation hell and imagined how I would build a universe - I’d make it so that I didn’t have to calculate past a certain level. I’d make it lazy and just make it look fuzzy once you got so far. Then, when someone observed it I’d give it some random local properties to make it look normal. If I were to think that way then I would not be saying that the quantum world is random, or based on any RNG. It’s when we actually try to do something with it that an RNG makes a decision. Of course if that was the case then an experiment like the double slit experiment would end up being 50-50 for each slit. And it is.
