Hiding scrollbars is a deeply annoying trend. I don't understand the rationale. Because someone thought it looks aesthetically cooler?

mobile first philosophies is my guess.

...curious who decided seeing scrollbars wasn't useful on mobile though. it's very useful knowing where i am in a long scrolling thing.

On mobile it made sense on the original 320px wide iPhone screen. On the huge screens we have today, less so.
