I don't think this is true for modern languages.

Rust seeds the whole state by default: https://docs.rs/rand/0.6.5/rand/

Julia seems to seed 128 bits: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/5741c7f53c5ea443bbd7...

However, your statement seems to apply to old languages:

C# uses only 32 bits and the time for seeding: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.random?vi...

Java only supports 48 bit seeds: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Random.h...
