Very true. Sadly, this is the main approach the non-cryptographic PRNG community has at the moment.
On the plus side, those tests are fairly extensive and brutal nowadays. They detect anomalies in cryptographic algorithms that were still used a decade ago, such as arc4random().
But one thing I hint at at the end is that I hope, and anticipate, to see more accurate quality measurement tools in the future.
