Conversely, why pay the massive speed penalty for a csprng when you do not need to?
I'd suspect the majority of random numbers generated in the world don't need crypto, they need speed. The world's supercomputers are not doing crpyto, they're doing simulations. Most people are not doing crypto most of the time - and when they're gaming in any manner, no need to pay csprng tax.
The only place one should use a csprng is for adversarial situations.

Use the right tool for the job, correct?
