"Windows" autoscroll? My Mac has had the same behavior for as long as I can remember. Did they copy it?

How do you do this on macOS? I can't find anything under Settings > Mouse and I can't find a way of fluking it with various random gestures. I don't think I'll ever need it, I'm just curious!
It has never existed natively on Mac OS X.
TIL - after you wrote this, I just tested in Numbers, Brave, and Finder and this behavior did not work.

It seems that it only works in Firefox and I assumed it was an OS-level feature as I've used it so many times (and my most frequent need for such scrolling is the web, so I never noticed it's absent from other software)
