Whether or not either of these is user-hostile is up to interpretation and preference, but you're stating it as if it is objective fact.
You see user-hostile shrinking of the scrollbar, someone else sees more room for content and hiding something that isn't necessary until you need it. You see loading content piecemeal as hostile, someone else sees blocking that 1kb of text from being displayed while you do more network-intensive work as hostile.
