I agree that scrollbars should be preserved. However, mobile screens are small and the classic scrollbars we were used to a decade ago take up precious space.

I agree that scrollbars should be preserved. However, mobile screens are small and the classic scrollbars we were used to a decade ago take up precious space. Actually, mobile scrollbars cause problems for me pretty often. My fat fingers sometimes trigger the scrollbar instead when I mean to tap an element on the right side of the screen. It's very infuriating when you suddenly jump to some random spot in a large list and have to scroll to find where you were and try again. I would love to see I think the solution is to come up with a design that indicates an element is scrollable. Maybe by darkening it at the bottom? A scrollbar could be toggled when the user scrolls far enough, then hidden again when the user stops scrolling for a while. Idk, I'm not a designer.
