Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-scrollbars-1] ability to explicitly request normal scrollbars (#9169)

As discussed in https://drafts.csswg.org/css-scrollbars/#out-of-scope
> Exposing the scrollbar-related ::-webkit- prefixed pseudo-elements to the Web is considered a mistake by both the CSS Working Group and Webkit.

So the spec is neither defining how it works, nor how to work around it. If we did spec it, I agree with you that making sure it can be overridden would be good, but it's explicitly out of scope, which I think makes this issue non actionable.

Further, while it's unclear how fast this is going to happen, browser vendors have indicated an interest in gradually retiring the scrollbar related `::-webkit-*` pseudos.

See https://drafts.csswg.org/css-scrollbars/#out-of-scope and https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1969#issuecomment-890855726 for some more explanation about why we're not specifying these pseudos.

With that in mind, I think we should close this issue as out of scope.
