The user agent can implement scrollbars in unpredictable ways to accommodate local needs. Reimplementing scrolling will always have compatibility and accessibility issues. (scrollwheels were a major source of my RSI issues, so I have to disable the scrollwheel. I sometimes have it mapped to thumb buttons 8 & 9, but that isn't practical for scrolling long pages)

> scrollwheels were a major source of my RSI issues You might be interested in trying a touch-scroll mouse—it's somewhat like touchpad scroll, only needs a gentle sweep of the finger and a bit easier to scroll continuously a desired distance. Personally, I'd particularly like to try Logitech Zone Touch T400 (https://i.imgur.com/cjmP0tc.jpg https://i.imgur.com/cjmP0tc.jpg), but it disappeared from the local market so I'm using a meh Genius mouse instead, which is still better than a scrollwheel.
