Surely someone must have explained that to them years ago, right? Would you happen to have a discussion in mind where the maintainers of the RNG generators commented on the issue? I would like to see their perspective but I am kind of lost.

I imagine so, but I'm not close to the Linux kernel community and don't know. I don't get the impression that Linus, for example, changes his mind particularly easily.
