Seems like the Mac-based designers were a bit too fixated on the issue of scrollbar appearance and this tech team had to figure out a workaround. Speaking of web scrollbars: One of the many reasons I hate modal dialogs ('lightboxes') on webpages is that they mess up scrolling behavior. Sometimes they accidentally close themselves if you hit the scrollbar, sometimes something else happens... Interestingly in mobile web design, having a scrollable box inside a document doesn't really work that great (in fact I am typing this on HN on my phone and the fact that this text input is too small for my comment & scrollable makes it tricky to read and edit.) So this forces us to think about other ways to make boxes expandable. One solution I've used is showing eg. 40px of the box then a button to expand it in place in the page, where it can be browsed using the document scrolling behavior, instead of showing a 200px height box with its own scrollbar.)
