I guess part of what you are asking about is the difference between using a quantum random number source, and using a deterministic pseudorandom number source (which happens to be inside your brain). Stuart Armstrong wrote Quantum versus Logical Bombs about one difference, suggesting that maybe risk-averse actors should prefer the quantum version (because then even if you make a bad decision, at least there will exist some multiple worlds in which you didn't...).
Yes! Thank you, Pfft, that's exactly what I was trying to get at. I'll go read the post right now.
