As a caveat, while this intuition works for classical mechanics, it does not work for quantum mechanics. All observations are consistent with wave function collapse being fundamentally random. Any hidden variables would need to be transmitted many times faster than the speed of light (~10000x, last time I checked the experiments), and are therefore inconsistent with our understanding of special relativity.
Note that pilot wave theory, an (out of vogue) interpretation of quantum mechanics, also recasts the apparent randomness in quantum mechanics as due to our ignorance of the exact state of the pilot wave.
Even Einstein struggled with quantum mechanics, famously saying "[God] does not play dice with the universe".
