The use case didn't disappear. If you're looking at a very long list - could be a document, could be a list of files - it's simply quicker to scan it by scrolling than by finger-gliding. Especially with the Magic Mouse.
It's physically tiring to scroll through a long document with multiple finger drags on the surface of the mouse. And knowing how much there is left to look at is clearly useful.
Worse, the default MacOS micro-scroll bars are too narrow even when they're visible. I assume this is to encourage track pad and finger-drag use - but that's not a user-centric decision.
