... Should it be concerning that someone was apparently able to engineer an ID like that?

Could you please articulate specifically why that should be concerning?

Right now I don't see the problem because the only criterion for IDs is that they are unique.

If you read the repo README, it just says "generate a uuid". You can use whatever you want as long as it fits the format, it seems.

It’s as random as any other UUID.
