On macOS as well iOS and AFAIK also Android, there is a rubber band/bouncy effect when you scroll to the bottom and reached the end. So you DO get a visual indicator when you are at the end. When you scrolled down and didn't get that "bounce" you know there is more to scroll to. Additionally, the scroll bar will show during scroll and indicate your position in the page.
Not saying this is good UX or in any way intuitive, just pointing it out. I think its a matter of taste and long-learned habits. Similar to "natural scroll" that is now the default for macOS. Being >20years a computer user, natural scroll felt just wrong to me, I always switched it back and thought Apple was just plain stupid. This changed when I introduced my father, who had long gotten away with not using computers, to a PC. When I showed him that he can use two-finger scroll on his laptop's trackpad on a website to get down, he said "oh, but its the wrong way!". I was puzzled, and he insisted and told me that its just the wrong way, reaching out to a piece of paper showing me that the content at the bottom would move UP into his view, if he puts 2 finger on the paper and moves them up, too. That was when I realized that "natural scrolling" is actual the physical way of doing it, and my hatred against it was just based that I was used to it in 20+ years of computers being the other way around.
It is also the same with Y-Axis in computer games, basically the default setting of the first computer game you ever played determines how you set your controllers (non-) inverted Y-Axis for life :)
