Challenge style modpacks tend to really bring this out.
My completion of Age of Engineering is this small countryside feeling open air base, Direwolf20 (famous YouTube Minecraft player) beat it with a space station. The only obvious commonalty is we both have huge floating energy spheres from Draconic Evolution which looks kinda out of place next to a greenhouse compared to inside a space station. "There's more than one way to do it" is a driving ethos in most of these packs.
For speedrunners though any sources of randomness are mostly just annoying. If it's 50 seconds faster to start on a hill, and your personal best is 40 seconds slower than the world record, you're not going to play runs where you didn't start on a hill. You're just going to reload.
