Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] CSS Scrollbars: scrollbar-color, scrollbar-width (#563)

Thank you for your comments, @kenchris .

`scrollbar-gutter` was reviewed by TAG in https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/520 and there is an explainer at https://github.com/felipeerias/scrollbar-gutter-explainer

Regarding the CSS Scrollbars spec, as I understand it the intention was to provide a simple way to cover most of the customizations that authors are already doing, while avoiding the complexity of `::-webkit-scrollbar` and other non standard solutions.

For example, in the case `scrollbar-width: none` the two main use cases (again, as I understand it) are:

* the site wants to use a scrollbar that is very different from the default (colors, sizes, effects, interaction, etc.)
* the site wants to offer a different way to scroll through the content (e.g. image carousel) and having a scrolling container underneath is just a convenient implementation detail.

In both cases, authors are already using different hacks to hide the default scrollbar so they can implement their own solution.

There are some more materials regarding the use cases behind the spec ([for example](https://www.w3.org/wiki/Css-scrollbars#Use-cases)), I guess it would be a good idea to compile them and extent that section of the explainer in https://github.com/felipeerias/css-scrollbars-explainer
