Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-scrollbars] Add `wide` value to `scrollbar-width` (#6351)

Disagreed, there is a use case beyond author aesthetic preferences for `thin`: if a scrollable component of a web page is small, every last bit of space might be of value, and thin scrollbars might be a better fit for such a thing than a large one.

However, I do not see a parallel for authors requesting wide scroll-bars. Users, sure, but authors, I don't see it.

We don't add features to the platform just in case there might be a not-yet-identified use case. Moreover, we can always extend this and add `wide` (or some other keyword) later if there's a good reason for it.
