It may be that your whole content is all visible so hiding scrollbar is not a problem. Also, hiding the scrollbar doesn't mean disabling the functionality, so the scroll-navigation of the page will work normally.
I can give you an example case where this is a must: kiosk systems where the frontend is web tech. Been doing just that for several years, and disabling text-selection, right clicks, making elements click-through are some of the common used practices.
I understand that kiosks are edge cases in general web dev, but also consider Single Page Applications where the UX is more in line with how we use applications rather than how we use webpages (eg left and right clicks act more like in an OS rather than in browser).
These are some awesome, I had no idea about disabling the text selection. I'm wondering if hiding a scrollbar is an accessibility issue?
I've read about it, and it mostly depends.

Is it possible to cancel scrollbar hiding on mouseover it? I think that would be a solution for Dmitrii Kartashev.
Same wonder about the disable of the text selection. It can be considered as a serious ux problem imho 🤔

Ok, I get it, It all depend on the use case
Disabling text selection is useful for buttons. It's annoying to select text when trying to click.
Thought exactly the same. I hate double clicking and suddenly the whole page is selected...
Thank you for the clarification
