Technically right. Computer can’t do actually random calculations, instead researchers have made pseudo random functions, which similarly behaves as a truly random function would.
Spotify is still the worst in that regard. It even loves to constantly repeat the same ~5 songs or so, at least before I quit the damn thing. Winamp has done this better a couple decades ago already, among many other features.
They probably didn’t like my nerdy joke. I see the argument that it’s kinda not the topic, but we are talking about randomness. It sounded fun in my head.

Why the fuck is this downvoted??? They are absolutely right

Because it’s not the reason. Pseudorandom number generation is statistically identical to random.
It absolutely is part of the reason and your little “statistically identical” line is reductive as fuck.
You clearly are not a programmer and don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about
That’s true. It also has nothing to do with the topic: only shuffling recent songs (allegedly). The title has more info than the meme image.
