So, why not provide an FPC CryptoRandom function, calling into /dev/urandom on UNIX and CryptGenRandom <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa379942(v=vs.85).aspx> on Windows ?

Proper cryptography requires much more than just unpredictable random numbers. This is something that belongs in a specialised library, or in a set of specialised units written by experts. It has no place in a generic RTL unit.
