Real answer: Apple hides scrollbars. Not just on iOS- on Mac OS they hide by default, and are only visible when actively scrolling. The vast majority of users don't notice them not being there, so nobody complains and designers keep hiding them.
Another fun thing: On Mac OS you can enable scrollbars to always show; but doing this adds a ~18px scroll gutter on every scrollable element, and thus breaks some scrolling web elements where the designers clearly only designed around the default. :)
- marginalia_nu 4y agoI primarily use the scroll bar when I scroll :-( The scroll wheel is so sluggish and the cursor keys are a lot slower still. Also I'm not an apple user.
- byhemechi 4y agoobviously this isn't a solution to the issue of scrollbars being too small, but middle click scrolling is actually pretty good if you want to scroll quickly without dragging the scrollbar
