Randomness is a concept of measurement, specifically a measure of the

But the notion of a causal system is based on observing a set of instances
where one event follows another, from which which we infer a notion of cause
and effect. We then extrapolate that notion to instances that we haven't
observed, or which haven't occured yet, and thereby impose a notion of
causality on what is, literally, unknown.
A random dataset could appear to be ordered to us, and we would be none the
wiser.
