To me, they are just indicators of how much content I can expect. I scroll with the mouse wheel or using the page down/up keys. I don’t grab the thing. I only need to see the indicator when I am scrolling.
But I wonder whether there is a accesibility aspect to always visible and wide scrollbars. I think, the best way to deal with it, is to make it an option how they look and behave.
What about some scrollable window with something like 10k+ lines, though? Sure, if you have a mouse with a free-spinning function, it’s still doable, but a draggable scrollbar comes in handy then.
Maybe a smart way to handle that would be to show a wide scrollbar when there is so much content? Idk.
I would probably expect filters that are always visible regardless at which line I am currently. Sadly, this isn’t the case very often and I have to go back to the top and apply the filters.
Touchscreens don’t have wheels on them. Styluses/pens also don’t (usually). The latter usually acts more as a mouse than a touchscreen in software, so you can’t scroll by dragging the page.
