Am I the only one who never considered normal scrollbars to be a 'waste of space'?

It's surprising to me how modern designers seem to care about scrollbars, but not all the white space we see on everything else.

Minimalist design really went from "maybe 38 different clickable links isn't the most optimal way to get around this site, we should probably optimize how we use screen space" to "WE MUST GET RID OF USEFUL FEATURES SO WE CAN DISPLAY 5-8 MORE PIXELS OF WHITESPACE" in the span of a decade lol
