I feel like understanding the guarantees is really simple. A value can be unique while still being guessable, and that's the idea with this latest revision. If you want something to be unique and unguessable, that's another uuid (or just use random bits, there's no benefit to a uuid here, generally).

UUID are better than random for distributed ID generation, I though

Nope, v4 are just random with a version tag.
