I know there are plenty of cases in which someone has survived a shot through the brain, or in which only part of their functioning is impaired, but for the most part, why does a bullet randomly aimed at someone’s head kill them nearly instantaneously? Rather than just losing eyesight or the ability to move an arm or leg. Thanks!

Temporary cavitation, you mught survive with effects like you described from a fairly low power round but anything from a rifle or decent pistol calibre will essentially cause a pressure wake as it travels through turning everything in the surrounding area into mush, not just what’s in the path of the bullet. Think of the wake left beind by a boat as it goes through water except the boat is travelling at several hundred miles an hour and the water is your brain matter.
