      I think websites are going to do it anyway through javascript, so having it officially supported and standardized means better UX because it would work similarly for each site that uses the feature.

        If nothing else, I can get behind this feature because of this. When I come across a site that hijacked my scrolling I can't tell how it'll behave. Can I scroll quickly back to something I was looking for? Or do I have to pause before I can scroll through multiple pages? At least if it were a browser feature it'd give us the option of potentially controlling that behavior.
