I feel like the iOS scroll bars fall into this a lot as well. They’re so hard to consistently get with you finger

My god... I've been using iOS for ten years and your comment just made me realize you can actually press onto and grab the razor-thin scrollbar that disappears about a second of idle time. What a farce.
The hit target is much bigger than the visual scrollbar. It is useful to drag the scrollbar for very long lists, but hardly the norm.
TIL you can actually drag Scrollbars on iOS. They are so tiny I would never have assumed they react to a touch.
That actually gives me a reverse accessibility problem on iOS, because I will try to drag-scroll at the edge of the screen but accidentally grab the scrollbar, which goes in the opposite direction.
