IMO, what's happened to the scrollbar over the years is evidence that the software industry is deeply unserious about UX and in fact makes all of it money through oligopoly market manipulation.
If UX and software quality mattered at all—had even the slightest effect on business outcomes—a widget as singularly productive as the scrollbar wouldn’t have been degraded to the extent it has
@baldur Worth noting that when companies talk about "UX", they generally mean something very different from you and I. I've found that many of them define "UX" as basically "conversion rate" and nothing else, certainly nothing to do with accessibility or doing what the user expects...
@baldur (Which is why there's all these visual frameworks with obvious accessibility and UI problems waxing on endlessly about "great UX" that they clearly aren't actually providing)
