Because while default scroll is fine for scrolling pages whole, in any scrollable div that's not top level it looks out of place like a blacksmith on an iceberg.

It's a gray slab that looks like a tombstone riding a straight, dull rollercoaster and unless your site makes a point of having a '90s inspirational look there's no way to integrate them in a page so that it doesn't feel completely detached.




If I was in your team I would be saying "why not just scrap scrollable divs?".

I am always looking for excuses to get rid of stuff.
