Maybe "usable" is your qualifier but what's wrong with Math.random()?

To generate random number in a specific range you need to do something I always forget and need to google.

    Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;

(Google AI summary says this is the thing)

The CSS function would be random(min, max)

Also the CSS function seems to take a number of steps, it is not immediately obvious to me how to do that with Math.random()

Why not add a Math.randint?

I imagine there's some deep ideological war over whether to add more programming functionality to css...

    Math.floor(Math.random() * Math.floor((max - min) / step)) * step + min

JS also has Crypto.getRandomValues()
