GnuStep uses WindowMaker, which shows scroll bars on bottom and left because that’s where they were on nextstep.

It actually doesn’t use WindowMaker. GNUstep is a reimplementation of core Apple frameworks, and can run in any DE (including Windows)

WindowMaker is its own thing that just so happens to be trying to recreate software from the same ecosystem as GNUstep, but they don’t depend on each other.

Combining them tho does give you that genuine experience

Note that Window Maker is a completely separate project with its own GUI toolkits (WINGs - it literally means "WINGs Is Not GNUstep" :-P).
