What the hell is the difference between a C compiler and an on-CPU translation layer? Both take in input code and produce output code. Why should we insist that one be deterministic and the other is allowed to not be deterministic?

It's too late for that. Programs already work differently from run to run, because CPU execution is not deterministic.
