With the feature matrix on my web site, I became concerned that users wouldn't realize that you can scroll it. Because macOS hides scroll bars until you start scrolling. But you wouldn't think to start scrolling unless you knew it was scrollable.

So I added this note to explain to people that they can scroll.

This is so stupid. Can we just have scroll bars again, please.

(Yes, I know about the setting that turns them on permanently, but that doesn't help people who are visiting my web site.)

I also know about NSScrollView.flashScrollers(). But:

1. This is a web site.
2. That was always a garbage solution to the problem.
3. Expecting a user to notice something that only happens briefly, and remember it forever, is always a garbage solution to any problem.
