Biasing the quantum vacuum to control macroscopic probability distributions

If I use a quantum RNG to make decisions I will spice up my life in alternate realities. Mexican food or Vietnamese tonight? Use the quantum RNG to decide and get both across the multiverse.
That aside, perhaps you could explain to me what's "new" and/or "better" about a quantum RNG?
Were all the sources of "true randomness" we used in the past not, at their core, relying on some sort of quantum phenomena (even if "we" didn't know it at the time).
I'm NOT an EE but I've seen all sorts of circuits (that I don't deeply understand) that rely on some side effect of a transistor or diode to produce entropy. Transistor noise, random telegraph noise, thermal noise, etc.
I guess one way of thinking about it is that at the quantum level there's no true vacuum in a classical sense.
