Very true, but
if they end up germinating in a highly exposed location, perennial seedlings are far less likely to survive to maturity unless environmental conditions are perfect or near-perfect for the first few years. It's much easier for a tiny to mid-sized, wild sown, perennial seedling to survive heatwaves, droughts, or unusually cold temps (compared to what the species is adapted to) when surrounded by larger plants of any type to buffer the extremes.
Annual plants are a different story. They'll grow and set seeds anywhere they land. I haven't had to plant or tend cilantro, nasturtium, calendula, sunflowers, or dill in years! LOL
