Bit off topic, but what's the reasoning behind messing with the native browser scroll here. Almost gets me motion sick when scrolling through this article.

Marketing people have demanded this on many websites sites I've been involved with. Don't ask me why.

You'd think the library would first check for macOS/iOS which already has far superior smooth scrolling.
