My claim is
EQ did not randomly select the player to award an item when it drops
You continuing to conflate "randomness" of drop rates with randomly selecting who to award an item is still dishonest or dumb.
But hey, you just joined October 2020 like your forum account says, so I'll cut you slack for being an ignorant newbie. Welcome to Green P99! You haven't experienced a /list yet - but when it comes, I'll explain it to you and hold your hand through the process. If you need anything else about EQ explained to you, send me a DM. I'm glad to help

So I could get on board with list items being /random...or maybe like /random for the first 6 people on the list as though they were in a normal full group.

I am talking EQ design and hard-coded features. You're talking player agreements. EQ design and hard-coded features never randomly selected a player to award an item when it dropped. Whichever individual or group did 51% damage had full loot rights. PNP was put into place to protect from KSing and camp stealing. PNP doesn't include randomly awarding items either.
Devs recognized legacy items would be monopolized by a small group of people and there would be endless CSR to try to coax and enforce player agreements.
If you want to camp a legacy items as a group, get one of your group members on the /list and when it drops you can /random it off amongst your group if you like.
The /list wasn't designed to randomly select a player to award items. It was created to end monopolization of legacy camps, lessen CSR burden, and give the most "fair" opportunity for anyone who wants to camp (read:camp = put in time) for the item.
