Bitcoin wallet address

I wonder why our bitcoin wallet addresses are composed of random letters and number. Can someone explain why it is random. Thanks for your incoming replies.

It is not random.

Addresses are the base58 representation of a very big number.

For example, "1Lae7v5bfzVe22wYaE5D2wqtSS2P9HG3Cv" can be converted from base58 to base10, and the result is:
5,266,334,934,126,293,321,713,676,914,678,034,984,531,560,362,408,820,016,723
