Why are we so concerned with nonce misuse anyway? I understood it at the time when nonces had complex rules, and when they were created deterministically. But nowadays it's pretty standard that modern algorithms work jut fine with completely random nonces, and it's pretty standard that you make them this way.

It being standard, they just come packed with the algorithm. IMO, worrying about bugs there makes exactly as much sense as worrying about bugs on the main algorithm. There's no reason to single them out.
