I've often thought about why the default implementation of many randoms around programming languages is to use LSFRs, MTs, and other fast RNGs in the 2020s.

It seems to be better to err on the side of 'people dont know if they want a PRNG or a CSPRNG' and switch the default to the latter with an explicit choice for the former for people that know what they need :)
