It doesn't - and it doesn't have to.

Please stop trying to claim that superposition means the universe
takes conscious, intelligent action.  It does not mean that.

Have you ever sat at a campfire and counted the number of crackling
sounds it makes per minute?  This crackling rate depends on how far
along the fire is, the type and moisture of the wood, and other
factors - but not any conscious decision by the fire itself.  It's
very much not a steady metronome, but for the same characteristics (of
wood, fire stage, et al) you'll get about the same rate of crackles.
Likewise, for the same properties of light source, you'll get the same
range of polarizations - on average - without the universe consciously
causing it.

If you mean, how did that range come to be?  That's emergent
properties from prior states, but if you want a root cause there isn't
one, any more than there being a root cause for the speed of light
being what it is.
