I don't understand the professed need for provable randomness.

I think his concern is that if an SP generates a ULA prefix for a customer, and that prefix happens to collide with someone else's ULA prefix, the SP may wish to prove that it was a true collision rather than a result of the SP's laziness or incompetence. However, that concern does /not/ apply to those interested in ULAs in general. For the very limited community it does apply to, use a provable RNG instead of the one in RFC 4193.
