Note that this is no different than the broad majority of other
architectures, only very few have ability to load entropy earlier than
rc.d.

I also do not see much value in it, there are usually very few things
needing randomness early, and there should be nothing requiring strong
pseudo random numbers before the rc.d script runs.
