It's a deliberate choice to add os.getrandom() as part of my PEP. It is a solution for concrete use case: be able to detect when os.urandom() will block and decide how to handle this case (implement "polling"). That's also why I added examples using os.getrandom(). Your PEP 522 contains many examples and use cases to be notified when os.urandom() will block and decide how to handle it (implement polling). That's why I completed my PEP, these use cases look common enough to justify the addition of os.getrandom().
