> Since nobody had figured out any downsides to PCG's yet, everyone shrugged and said "might as well just go with that then", and that is where, as of 2019, the art currently stands. The problem is solved, and life is good.
I wonder who "everyone" was, I'm not aware of many high-profile projects adopting PCG as a default. As of 2025, several high-profile runtimes (including all the major browsers) use xorshift variants [1]

Is there a list of users of PCG?
