I'm not sure what you mean by that last bit. It's not possible?

If you both play the same scenario 1000 times, you'd both end up with the close to the same value in loot drops because you both have the same odds.

You're wrong here in saying it is impossible that they won't get a similar outcome. The word you're looking for is "improbable", which is relevant as some players are stuck in improbable situations relative to another player. Compounding this would be if higher level characters get better random loot past level 20, as that would be a positive feedback loop that would tend to increase the distance between the characters.

Edit: Also, it isn't that improbable as characters would most likely (I can only make conjecture) tend to diverge earlier, when it is not that improbable that there would still be significant difference.

You're right. I used the wrong word. What I don't know is just how random everything is, but my point is that to the degree that they are random, loot drops can be perceived to be more unfair than they are.
