How precisely can you scroll on your phone? I don't think anyone finds it awkward.

I get the impression that you're thinking of a much jankier implementation of "inertia" than that, and to be honest I wouldn't be surprised if that's what we'd get anyway.

An unambitious inertia describes the linux community of the past decade pretty well.

It works similarly to the steam deck actually. You flick and then tap/hold to stop.

Does this mean the inertia only applies if you remove your finger at the end of the movement, and so non-flicky movements are interpreted normally, with the cursor stopping as soon as your finger stops? That implementation sounds a lot better than how I interpreted the original comment; I thought they meant it would apply to all movements, even when your finger stays down the whole time.
