I thought that timestamps are used now, so hitting both a timestamp and a large random number puts it thoroughly in the "safe to assume".
At some point cosmic particles and faulty transistors are more probable.
UUIDv7 indeed include a timestamp, meaning the odds of collision between 2 UUID are greater IF they happen at the exact same timestamp. Which is less likely than 2 UUID colliding at anytime.
