In pay experience, scrolljacking happens after front end devs are told to implement it by the designers and the designers are told they must do it by the marketing people who in turn have been begged by both the front end devs and the UX team and. The design team to please record wider this insane decision - but insisted on it anyway.
I have a collection of articles and studies and discussions on scrolljacking that I show to the business stakeholders when it comes up.
I make sure thy hear from multiple parties independently when such an idea starts making its way toward implementation.
But it is exhausting because trendy flashy websites still use the technique and do catch the eye and I have to explain why we can’t and should not have the shiny toy - despite big brand x y or x having it.
In which process I am saying no to the very people deciding on my bonus.
Just a bit of perspective.
