Yes, let's just completely dismiss the concerns of people whose preferred way to move up and down in a web page is to grab the slider with their mouse or stylus. Everyone is perfectly able to curl their fingers around a little pod that makes them put their wrist into a position that can cause strain on the tendons and make lost of tiny, precise movements with it. Nobody has any RSI issues.

All I stated was the scrollbar is a non-issue with wheels and touch. And it isn't.
I sympathize with any health issues, but to be fair, if we were discussing accessibility then RSI is just the beginning.
Also, maybe you're not able to use it, but most Wacom pens have options to allow scrolling by just clicking and dragging, making the scrollbar a non-issue. The scrollbar has never been the most convenient of interfaces.
Right. Except either way, the length of the page hardly ever corresponds to the amount of content. With pagination we are left counting the O's in goolge for example.
tbf you can either design for everyone or you can be at the cutting edge of adoptability and "coolness"
you don't see snapchat caring about folk without arms for example- useability concerns depend on the service you're building.
