You’re misunderstanding. In those other apps the behavior is this: you open a document. You put the cursor on line 3 column 3. You use the mouse wheel or trackpad to scroll down to line 600. You hit cursor right. The cursor is now on line 3 column 4.

In emacs the cursor would be somewhere around line 600 instead.

It should be possible to save the cursor position, hide it if it moves away from view during scrolling, and restore it back on any command but scrolling, or at least at the firs cursor-movement command.
