Everyday life minute by minute, and nanosecond by nanosecond, is governed by chance, as taught by QM, Cf. , e.g. , Reif, Fundamentals of Statistical and Thermal Physics. All the so-called Laws of Physics are rooted in chance.

Ah, but what governs those “random” interactions that QM, etc, seek to describe?

Simply because a process is probabilistic rather than deterministic doesn’t negate the fact that the process is governed by set principles which do not randomly change.
