So to be sure, you’d like your Word on Mac to also have a “close window” button as a square “X” on the top right instead of a red circle on the top left? OS’s

OS’s are not always 100% internally consistent but every OS vendor is striving towards that.
Finally I agree that the OS should not natively style a web page (although as I said I’m in favor of user overrides). A scroll bar is not a web page. It’s an OS level interface element.

Still, I think the window control elements are pretty close to something the OS should fully control. On the other hand, I would expect it to use the Ribbon for interaction, and mostly ignore the MacOS global menu bar, so I can still find things where I'm used to them. Having said all that, scrollbars appear all the time inside other elements of an app, so I don't see why they should be compared to the window close button. If they're smack dab in the middle of my screen, they should look like the rest of the app.
