Exactly this, I’ve observed it as well. MacBook-toting devs often won’t test on anything but Chrome, likely for convenience.

Firefox suffers from this too.

I've definitely run into websites where you can tell the developers only ever tested their work with a smooth scrolling multitouch trackpad.

Clicky vertical only mousewheel scroll? Sorry, spent $6000 on the maxed out laptop but can't get a $10 mouse to go with it.

Enjoy scrolling two pixels per wheel revolution because our scroll hijack only works right on trackpads.

On this specific issue: scrolljacking is always bad because the web simply doesn’t expose the necessary primitives to make it not bad for at least some people. Search my comment history for a little more detail and discussion.
