Not all RNGs are created equally. There's no such thing as a true RNG. All the RNGs we use are simulated RNGs. Some simulations are better than others.

I don't know what HLO uses, but if it's just a dice roller, I wouldn't necessarily expect it to be on par with RNGs used for cryptography. It COULD be on par, but there's no reason to expect it to be.
