A random number generator is truly random and therefore stops all complaints about it being biased, in a lottery of some sort for example, whereas with a die you'd always get someone whining that it wasn't fair.

About the die, you could argue that as you know that a bit of dirt could be there, that's what made it not random. If I stuck something to a die and then rolled it, would that be random because there is a possibility I wouldn't have done it?
