The random number generator from ESP32 uses noise from Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radios. If these are off, a pseudo-random number is generated instead; this is currently the case, but even though it's a black box, it's arguably better than returning a timestamp as a pseudo-random number generator. According to the ESP32 Technical Reference manual, the RNG passed the Dieharder Random Number Test suite (version 3.31.1)[1], but nothing has been said about the quality of the PRNG. The RNG register is read directly; no effort is made to use its contents to feed an entropy pool in a way that's similar to /dev/random on POSIX systems, as no such subsystem exists on Zephyr at the moment.
