Ideally I would love if we could stop using "random" entirely when referring to ...

We can just call them CSPRNGs to be precise.

The pseudo lets you know it's not real quantum randomness, and the rest of it lets you know it's probably good enough for all practical purposes.

Actually, crypto pseudorandoness can be more appropriate for some things, because you can prove you didn't rig it.

I don't think that adds any value over pseudo-random.
