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

> Is there a significant use case for author control for wider scrollbars?

Web site authors have and do want to provide options to their users independent of the browser/UA settings,  especially when the options don't exist on all browsers/UAs.  For example, authors provide (for various reasons) light and dark modes styules, large and small fonts sliders for users, high contrast version, etc.  The reasons authors do this is becasue users don't have options in the browser or, more importantly, the browser doesn't support the feature well with the particulare code/framwework.  

Using the good, better, best approach; I agree it is (should be) the best approach when supported by browsers/UAs.  However when not well supported, and its critical to a set of known users of the particulare web site (e.g. low vision users, users with tremors, etc.), then the good solution is for authors to be abe to provide an option to their users to increase the width of the scroll bars.
