The more modern (but still almost decade old) ones that are touch/trackpad based
work in both dimensions, such as the Apple Magic Mouse, or otherwise any
trackpad/touch control surface. And with a standard inertia feature going to
the end is often a quick flick of the finger, or the keyboard End key.

I don't disagree that broken scroll bar UI is a bad thing and should be priority
fixed.

But I recommend that people will have a more pleasant experience in computing
generally if they try other common input device alternatives. The difference is
almost as night and day as knowing how to touch type vs hunt and peck.
