If you parse out the UUIDs presented (e.g. 4331cc4c-1d91-11e9-be2c-45923c63e8a2), you'll see there are a lot of version 1 UUIDs.

That's a bug/feature of the specific MySQL implementation. If you used a different implementation like the following, you can generate V4 cryptographically strong random UUIDs
