The settings you refer to are intentionally disabled by default, because
they conflict with modern clickpad usage. But they are still available
if you want to turn them on.
To enable edge scrolling look in:
Settings > Devices > Mouse & Touchpad > Touchpad > Edge Scrolling = ON
To enable button areas:
1. Install package 'gnome-tweaks'
2. In Gnome Tweaks > Keyboard & Mouse > Mouse Click Emulation = Area
You may also be interested to try the alternate touchpad driver (only
works in Xorg sessions) by adding/removing package 'xserver-xorg-input-
synaptics'.

Title:
Touchpad scroll and middle/right click not working as expected
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
This could probably fixed through configuration, but it should work
automatically. Testing Ubuntu 18.04 beta, the touchpad has no special
regions for scrolling or anything.
By default in Xorg-based Ubuntu, top right corner of touchpad is
middle-click (mouse button 2), bottom right is right-click (mouse
button 3), and right side is vertical scrolling. For a while the
bottom edge defaulted to horizontal scrolling, but that changed in
17.10 or something.
I'm aware that new touchpad interaction methods have developed, like
dragging with two fingers anywhere on the touchpad to scroll or
something. But people may not know this, or their touchpad might not
support multitouch.
(The Xorg-based settings for touchpad remain when switching back to
Xorg like with the Metacity Flashback login option.)
