Re: [pointerevents] Extend pointer events to support raw trackpad data (#206) from Dex Devlon via GitHub on 2022-10-05 (public-pointer-events@w3.org from October to December 2022)

Just like @trusktr and @aeharding mentioned, there is no way to properly implement MacOSs rubberband effect/elastic scroll on browsers because of current API limitations. The main limitation for the rubberband effect is that there is no way to find whether the scroll event ended, as in whether the finger is off the trackpad. 

This is the same effect implemented in [react-indiana-drag-scroll](https://github.com/Norserium/react-indiana-drag-scroll) using the mouse event:

In 2022 I believe this issue should be given some serious considerations.
