Just because on your testbench they changed enough for you to guesstimate they provide enough entropy doesn't mean they provide enough entropy for everyone under all circumstances. They are not designed for that purpose and unless you have performed extensive adversarial testing to gain confidence that they can be used as such, you cannot guarantee anything.

You seem to have zero runtime sanity checks too, so if for whatever reason they are not providing entropy for someone, they will be none the wiser.

Sorry, but this is a terrible RNG.
