I can dislike overuse of white space and scroll bars at the same time. Also I like my phones to be as small as possible, not the size of a baking tray.

I’m not an Apple user on desktop, but even there I have scroll bars disabled everywhere including the IDE. Why use the space for something I never use.

And btw, I’m not saying it should be like this for everyone. From my perspective this should be configurable. Same as I wish apps and sites would offer a dense mode toggle to reduce white space.
