Randomize Z seam and make sure your flow/retraction settings are as good as you can get them.
Messing around with your nozzle temperature might help too: Keep in mind that the thermistor in the heat block might be off by a few degrees so if you can measure the temperature directly as a comparison, it can help you figure out how much it's usually off by and adjust accordingly.
Randomised seams just spreads the issue out on the entire model surface, it looks even worse like that.
It will probably help more once your settings are dialed in, otherwise, yeah it's just going to distribute the mess. Alternately, keep everything as is and fix it up post-print via filler and sanding.

There is never a situation where this is a good setting to have on.
Can't say I agree but you print how you want.
