> not using a secure RNG.

Wouldn't a quantum RNG solve this issue? I'm aware that there are non-quantum ways to fix this problem, but in my mind quantum is one of the possible solutions, albeit one of the most expensives.




No, a Quantum RNG does not solve the issue that people use an API for insecure random numbers when they should use one for secure random numbers.

Every OS already has a secure RNG API. That's a solved problem.
