To allow the gutter of the scrollbar have a transparent background, potentially hiding it when it is unused or something. The workaround might be javascript, but it destroys the integration features from browsers. With integration features, I mean stuff like this:

When using CTRL + F as example.

This wouldn't easily be possible if the entire scrollbar has to get removed.

See this JSFiddle in Google Chrome as an example: https://jsfiddle.net/3awLgj5v/
