In other words, you can't actually say that hardware random number generators are not "natural" (pardon the double negative) as they are what can be found in nature and as random as nature itself goes and does

That's correct. But I expect that all online casinos use software random number generators. Of course, whether the majority uses one or another, may need to be asked/verified

If I'm not mistaken, WB uses a hardware random number generator

When I was translating for them, I encountered the part which made reference to such a device. But that's not actually my point here, in this topic. I'm not talking about pseudo-random numbers and how genuinely random they are. Even if we look at a really random distribution generated by a truly stochastic process (by however strict measure), we will see patterns as the image above shows

Indeed, these patterns of outcomes are random themselves (to repeat, I don't question their randomness). But the very fact that there are patterns takes a bit from the randomness of these outcomes making them somewhat less random. In this regard, a uniform distribution seems to be more random on this level, which leads us to question the very idea and understanding of what randomness actually is
