Yep, I worked as a front-end dev since forever and I can confirm that I've been routinely asked by designers and other product people to

    - Change how scrolling works, incl. arbitrary scrolling angles and non-linear scrolling speed
    - Change how the fonts (and SVGs) are rasterized by the browser
    - Disable browser features, such as zoom and back button
    - Take over the browser's UI in other disgusting ways
...I work as a backend dev now, it's a happy place where people genuinely care that the SQL query runs fast, but nobody ever asked in which font it renders in Firefox on macOS.
