> but that's what the user expects their scroll bar to look like!

You base that on..? I’ve had users complain about their native scrollbars more than once. Native scrollbars can make things look very broken.

In terms of responsiveness, true for a normal website, but sometimes impossible in more complex ui elements (like I said, not the page scroll, but in page scrollable elements)

I would really like to see some research on this idea that people prefer native elements, it’s not what I see in user tests and the feedback I get. My experience is that people want a functioning app that doesn’t look broken.

My whole point is: we should be able to provide a great experience that’s accessible and allows the user to give their preferences (like prefers reduced motion).
