Probability was understood long before computers, true, but it waited for Kolmogorov’s axiomatic formulation to actually become the coherent field of math that it is today, rather than a hodge lodge of definitions, tricks and theorems.

And that only happened in 1933, which is around the time that computers became a thing. Not general purpose ones yet - I agree it was before computers were widespread, but definitely not far before they were a thing.
