I mean scroll-jacking is absolutely horrible, it drives me a bit nuts how all of these websites that win awwwards and such all ruin the experience by removing native scrolling. People ignore how much of a basic accessibility problem it is too, a slight difference in scroll behaviour can make people feel uncomfortable and even motion sick using your website.

Scrollbars I will touch if what's needed is a custom scrollbar in legacy browsers, but only in the form of a well-regarded library with a lot of history that prioritises accessibility. I still don't like it as it's so unnecessary but at least I know it's not harming people in the process.
