Probabilistic behavior emerges whenever there is uncertainty; by simply having fog of war there is "random" behavior where players are making choices based upon uncertain information. Similarly, if I launch an offmap artillery strike it's not certain how many shells will strike home and how many will miss, or whether or not my opponent will react in time to avoid it, but the ability is still essentially balanced.
The idea that Starcraft is any more balanced because it eliminates these kinds of features is silly; you can have balanced uncertainty, like the fog of war, and given any mechanic with uncertain behavior it can probably be balanced in some way.
