Note

CC'ing the framework to see if there's any opposition to this proposal, e.g. philosophically, users are responsible for using Scrollbars themselves to abide by Android's quality standards if they so wish.

(This is part of b/366229477)

To achieve Tier 1 large screen compatibility, apps should display a scrollbar while content is being scrolled using a mouse or trackpad; see the Large Screen App Quality docs. As of today, users have to wrap scrollable widgets with a Scrollbar widget to have a scrollbar appear. So, we should consider instead having scrollable widgets (like ScrollView and its children, PageView) have a scrollbar appear by default.
