Microsoft is very conservative in that regard. They aim at the broader
range of END USERS, from the noviceto the computer literate one.

I payed particular attention to this "scrollbar" UX in the past, and
my personal research (watching people) shows that most of them use the
mousewheel or simply drag the bar in mouse based UIs, and/or swipe
up/down in touch based.

I love supersmooth animations, but they're part of a whole transitions engine.
