Comment (by jorbin):

 @siliconforks `mt_rand` is a fallback in the scenario where someone is
 using `wp_generate_uuid4` extremely early. If `random_int` would to be
 used, the logic in wp_rand would need to be duplicated including, a
 fallback for when `random_int` cannot find an appropriate source of
 randomness.
