You don't scroll through such a list - you use filters, pivoting etc. For end users, it's often quite comfortable to unify this in an Excel-like interface, as they're used to it. In most CRUD projects I had, users had an aversion against paged/pre-filtered displays and rather would have everything in one list where they can dynamically filter it if necessary. |

I get the point of wanting it locally to use power tools. And I get that the browser is probably capable of implementing a lot of power tools. Seems silly to insist on doing it all "in memory" on the browser, though?
That is, if the idea is you are doing pivots and filters, I don't know why a server side hit wouldn't be better for that. Similarly, when I look at something like a stock ticker for the day, I don't expect every single transaction was sent to my browser to create the graph. It /could/ be done that way, but why?
More directly to the question I had here, why and how would someone need a scroll list of every market transaction? For fine audits, I would get it, but even then I'd expect some sort of search or anomaly detection?
Still, I think if the answer is to "get it in the users hand and let them do what they will with the data," I can accept that. Goal isn't necessarily to let the users scroll the data endlessly, but for them to use any bespoke tooling they are already using.
