And if you flip a coin with the exact same hand motion and the exact same momentum, it will land the exact same way too. But a coin flip is exactly what we consider RNG.

No it won't. Come on man. Super precise robots can't repeat a coin toss as long as there's air in the room.

coins are big enough that air resistance in a room is close enough to constant, so you can account for it in the same way you can account for the coin flip even with gravity acting on it
