“This is per specification.” is an awful cop-out. It’s something where there was a tolerable workaround, but it was ripped out because only Firefox ever implemented it and no one else wanted to. Even though the viewport units are fundamentally completely wrong on almost all documents without it, so that it’s basically impossible to use them correctly.
And then they continued to completely ignore this in the new units, only caring about the mobile issues.
Perhaps more relevant now is https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6026 https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6026 (loosely about bringing something back). The scrollbar-gutter suggestion would be fairly decent, mitigating the minor ugliness of overflow: scroll if the document isn’t long.
