Because everything is being designed as a narrow webpage with infinite scroll served up by the algorithm. The bottom of the page no longer exists so there's no definable range for a scrollbar.

    @Couldbealeotard Yeah, that explains substack, which is where I notice this the most. There's supposed to be a huge scrum of comments continually popping up at the bottom for the algorithm to helpfully sift for you. The fact that nothing is actually there on any blog I read is not a factor in design decisions.
