So, you're saying that block production follows a Poisson distribution and there's no technical explanation for it? I've looked into this distribution, and it makes sense because it's suitable for modeling the number of events (block production) that occur in a fixed time interval (10 minutes, difficulty adjustment) when those events occur at a constant average rate and independently of the time since the last event.

Poisson distribution is the technical explanation for it, for the reasons you state.

It’s random. You are going to get anomalies. Miners find blocks when they find blocks. There are also times that there are no blocks for 2 hours. It all averages out to around every 10 mins.
