Unnecessarily reading large quantities of data will have a negative
impact on other users of the /dev/random and /dev/urandom devices.
Therefore, getrandom() should not be used for Monte Carlo simulations
or other programs/algorithms which are doing probabilistic sampling.
In other words it shouldn't be used when not strictly necessary.
Yes, although that's true of reading /dev/(u)random too. (Just to be clear.)
